A change with somewhere else to go

Thinking · Book-inspired companion

Thinking in Systems — Donella Meadows

Meadows’ publisher presents systems thinking as attention to connected problems rather than isolated parts. A local adjustment can affect a wider arrangement, so understanding relationships matters.

Our experiment: draw the route a request takes through a shared task. Imagine making one stage faster. Ask where the extra work would arrive and who would need to respond. The drawing is a starting point for questions, not proof that you understand every connection.
