I have been privileged to take classes highlighting the works of Peter Senge. He is a renowned social scientist and is the founding chair of the Society for Organizational Learning (SoL). This organization helps with the communication of ideas between large corporations.

In his book, The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization, Peter Senge encourages experimentation and advancement to help organizations with five disciplines.

They are:

(1) systems thinking,

(2) achieving personal mastery,

(3) shifting mental models,

(4) building shared vision, and

(5) team learning.

Together, these enable an organization to understand the compelling reasons things must change and to share ideas and move ahead to new ways to create the results they desire.

Systems Thinking: When using a "diagnose first, treat later" mental model, there is a predictable outcome for people who are diagnosed with bleeding disorders.

When treatment is withheld, bleeding continues, creating a vicious cycle, also called a death spiral. The only way to stop the bleeding is for an intervention that provides treatment, thus interrupting the downward death spiral.
