Abstract

There is a huge number of methodologies for intervention and problem solving in the systems thinking realm. Given the complexity of the problems that are to be faced in organisational contexts, it has been suggested that they can be better treated by combining different methodologies, which turns out to be problematic due to the difficulty in finding appropriate selection criteria since they very often start from incompatible assumptions at the theoretical level. Different answers and criteria to make these selections and mixtures have been formulated. Here the aim is to propose Wittgenstein´s Language Games as a possible foundation to reflect on intervention processes.
