8..' Equifinality, The concept of equifinality argues that there are a number of ways to skin a cat. More exactly, it states that a system can reach the same final state from differing initi;'tl con ditions and by a variety of paths. This means that an organizational system can accomplish its objecti~es with varied inputs and trans formation processes.

It will encourage you to consider a variety of solutions to a given problem rather than to seek some rigid optimal solution.
