I was saddened to receive the following this morning. I remember meeting Stephen in 1998; through his business he has been a champion of systems thinking and practice.

cancer on July 2, 2012. Stephen Haines has inspired and mentored many
people in their fields of business. He has
helped direct and provide sound strategic management skills by using
the Systems Thinking Approach®.

Haines was one of the world's foremost authorities on the Systems
Thinking Approach® to Strategic Management

called the Systems Thinking Approach®, based on 50 years of scientific
research on systems thinking and the
natural way the world works. He traveled the world, keynoting on
