Interdisciplinary systems thinking is needed to take a comprehensive view of current challenges and understand their implications. Not only forward thinking and action are required, but also a
Understanding of system interrelationships and how to deal with incomplete information, for example. This is complemented by engaging and credible communication to employees and other relevant stakeholders along the value chain. Knowledge in various fields such as climate, circular economy, life cycle assessment,CO2 calculations<\/sub>, psychology, communication and organizational development – to name just a few topics -.
