Integral sometimes seems to make problem solving more difficult


As I work within the integral perspective in my day to day work in urban school reform at a district and state level, I have come to find that although my integral perspective allows me to see the world much more clearly and in its entirety, it also makes wrapping my mind around a problem orders of magnitude more complex. This is because you can see the multiple systems (which in my line of work can easily all be dysfunctional) interacting with one another. The problems and how they interrelate become clear, but how can we possibly choose a few do-able leverage points to target that will effect real change?

I guess my question is, how can we best consolidate and process the information achieved by looking at the world through an integral lens in order to be able to do something constructive about the problems? I can see with wonderful clarity areas that are dysfunctional and I can see things that can be done to fix localized problems but I can also see that anything that I might suggest be put in place stands little chance of fixing anything because of the interrelationships and dynamics of the multiple systems in all four quadrants. I am particularly interested in complex situations where many individuals are involved in some sort of a dysfunctional organizational structure (not necessarily a school). I end up being very frustrated because I see the problems, dysfunctions and resulting pain with astonishing clarity but I honest to God have no idea what to do to really fix things on a large, sustainable scale that is feasible both financially and from a systems change perspective. Is there a model for thinking about this that simplifies this? Or, should we just try to create new organizational structures from scratch?
