He adds to this recognition that people are agents, able to act upon the
structures and systems of which they are a part. All the disciplines are, in
 this
way, ‘concerned with a shift of mind from seeing parts to seeing wholes,
from seeing people as helpless reactors to seeing them as active
participants in shaping their reality, from reacting to the present to
creating the future’ (Senge 1990: 69).
