What he said
See Gill South's report about Systems Thinking, System Dynamics: Managing Change and Complexity by Kambiz E. Maani and Robert Y. Cavana.
The advice?
As some might say, it's all about context. Others might suggest it's about getting leverage.
If you're facing a challenge in your organization, are you looking at an individual event, or is there a pattern? What's the structure (process) that created that pattern? What can you do to change the structure so that the pattern changes in a way you want? Would you like to talk about it?
The advice?
- Take the time to think.
- Patterns, not individual datapoints (problems), are key.
- If you want to change an event (fix a problem), you have to change the process (structure) that created the pattern of which the event is a part.
