SYSTEMS THINKING: WHAT, WHY, WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW?
What Does Systems Thinking Involve?
It’s important to remember that the term “systems thinking” can mean different things to different people. The discipline of systems thinking is more than just a collection of tools and methods – it’s also an underlying philosophy. Many beginners are attracted to the tools, such as causal loop diagrams and management flight simulators, in hopes that these tools will help them deal with persistent business problems. But systems thinking is also a sensitivity to the circular nature of the world we live in; an awareness of the role of structure in creating the conditions we face; a recognition that there are powerful laws of systems operating that we are unaware of; a realization that there are consequences to our actions that we are oblivious to.
Systems thinking is also a diagnostic tool. As in the medical field, effective treatment follows thorough diagnosis. In this sense, systems thinking is a disciplined approach for examining problems more completely and accurately before acting. It allows us to ask better questions before jumping to conclusions.
Systems thinking often involves moving from observing events or data, to identifying patterns of behavior overtime, to surfacing the underlying structures that drive those events and patterns. By understanding and changing structures that are not serving us well (including our mental models and perceptions), we can expand the choices available to us and create more satisfying, long-term solutions to chronic problems.
In general, a systems thinking perspective requires curiosity, clarity, compassion, choice, and courage. This approach includes the willingness to see a situation more fully, to recognize that we are interrelated, to acknowledge that there are often multiple interventions to a problem, and to champion interventions that may not be popular (see “The Systems Orientation: From Curiosity to Courage,”V5N9).

What is Operational Excellence (OpEx)? and how does it help you strive for continuous improvement in a complex business environment?
Improving a business is about more than just increasing efficiencies or maximizing ROI. Today’s global economy also requires the flexibility to adjust to changing markets, conditions and technologies. Operational excellence is a way for organizations to create a roadmap toward continuous improvement in a complex business environment.
Its goal is to give companies a competitive advantage. If done right, operational excellence helps business leaders make better decisions and employees show continuous improvement. Companies that are better at problem-solving and process improvement, the theory goes, will ultimately exceed their competition in profitability.
Here, we’ll explore the core principles of operational excellence and how companies are using technology to implement these methodologies.

Principles of Macroeconomics, By Libby Rittenberg and Timothy Tregarthen.
Let’s start with Principles of Macroeconomics, By Libby Rittenberg and Timothy Tregarthen.
This is our textbook for Macroeconomics and while I read it I feel so immersed by its subjects.
Macro Economics. what an interesting topic for me.
“In this book, the authors explore the effects of political uncertainty. The authors explore how political outcomes of events, such as Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, affect economic policies and economic outcomes. Throughout the last decade, economists have received the public’s attention, and the authors saw an opportunity to share economic principles and thinking in a way that emphasizes their relevance in today’s world.”
