Study Notes

Systems Thinking

Systems thinking is a holistic approach to understanding complex systems and their interactions.

Common Mistakes of Beginners

Many beginners mistakenly focus on the tools and methods of systems thinking, rather than the underlying principles and mindset.

Systems thinking involves understanding the dynamics and behaviors of systems, including feedback loops, nonlinear effects, and emergent properties.
It involves considering the perspectives and goals of multiple stakeholders, and recognizing the complex interdependencies within the system.
