My "last" systemic, organistic, pragmatic, concrete recommendation would be to read this lecture: It is by Charles Francois, Founder and Editor of the International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics:
The need for an integrated systemic-cyberneticlanguage for concepts and models in complex and vague subject areas:
http://benking.de/systems/encyclopedia/concepts-and-models.htm
and also maybe have some "new terms" in his Encyclopedia which might help for the way...:

LAST NOT LEAST: this report to the club of Rome was hitting the streets in Berlin 1995:
'THE CAPACITY TO GOVERN'
Written in English and Hebrew, it was first published in German in 1995, lagter in Spanish and 6 years later !! in English (not only much time and insights - also much of its content was lost on the way.... (but Governance Students nowadays take this is Source) Isn't it a strange mono-lingual world - with little space for difference - or call it Diversity...!??)
maybe read our 7 points to remember for the press conference 1995 in Berlin:

PS:
I have to add here: what I forgot on the GOLD list:
please see this page on LITERACY - EARTH LITERACY - any LITERACY
here: http://in-betweener.org/flatworlds/

a quotation from Kofi ANNAN i like very much:

"Our biggest challenge in this new century is to take an idea that sounds abstract - sustainable development -
and turn it into reality for all the world's people.
Making the abstract real and developing the capacities of individuals and societies to work for a sustainable future is,
essentially, an educational enterprise. "
Kofi Annan

it is more easy to quote and link to this page:
