This research seeks to establish the relationship between systemic thinking and integral management for its possible inclusion in the postgraduate programs of the USTA–ICONTEC agreement. It was based on an exploratory systematic review of articles published in the databases Science Direct, Ebscohost, Jstor and SciVerse Scopus, between 2005 and 2015, using MeSH systemic thinking and management terms. Following this, interviews with teachers, graduates and students of the postgraduate programs were carried out, in order to know the conceptions of the relevant stakeholders. Later, a content analysis of the curricular aspects was carried out. Finally, a review of the three sources and from the methodological triangulation of these findings, defined the strategy for the development of systemic thinking in the postgraduate student training management systems, which is proposed to be incorporated in the update curricular of the programs.
