Abstract: A key challenge of the modern organisation is to continually align its processes, resources and capabilities to reflect an ever-increasing turbulent environment, while reinforcing its structures and functions so that they continue to support the organisation's purpose. This work will introduce a methodological systemic scheme (MSS) that is derived from the semantic diagramming principles of the design and control systemic methodology (DCSYM) and the causal loop diagramming techniques used in system dynamics, which can be used as an effective means through which the modern organisation can apply a systems approach to its management paradigm for the purpose of embracing change while reinforcing the structural cohesion of the various organisational units of which it is comprised, which will enable them to respond successfully to the diverse conditions emerging from the various internal and environmental influences to which they are subject.
