Perceptions of complexity from the Holistic Thinking Perspectives (HTP) [3] indicate that there is a dichotomy on the subject of how to solve the problems associated with complex systems. While some authors opine the need for new tools and techniques to solve the problems, others show the same problems being remedied successfully. This paper examines the situation, discusses and resolves the dichotomy with reference to the Hitchins-Kasser-Massie Framework (HKMF) and the HTPs. Building on prior work the paper then maps the management of complex problems that seems to work in the real world into a notional process. The paper concludes that (1) complexity can be, and is being, managed successfully if the correct paradigms are applied and (2) the various single-pass processes for solving non-complex systems are subsets of the existing Multiple-Iteration Problem-Solving Process.
