The Art of Problem Solving is a good start given that most of his other work is more management oriented. But if you want an introduction to his kind of thinking, Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows is fantastic as well.
Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, I'm familiar with Thinking in Systems and other systems thinkers but for whatever reason haven't read anything from Ackoff.

Which book of his should I start with? Thanks for the reference.
