Learning to Think Systemically to Make Informed Decisions and Pre-empt a Crisis – Out of the Crisis Part 5

Learning to Think Systemically to Make Informed Decisions and Pre-empt a Crisis – Out of the Crisis Part 5

What is the real difficulty that we face in wanting to create a true learning organization that overcomes the hierarchical/functional structure and replaces it with the far more suitable network of projects? The real issue here derives from the mental barriers that prevent individuals and organizations from working together as a system for a common […]

Is Making a Profit in Conflict with Doing Good? It’s All About Pie

Is Making a Profit in Conflict with Doing Good? It’s All About Pie

When you frame the question of making a profit versus doing good as a conflict, you can quickly get to the root of the problem. Much of it has to do with the way we think about what profit is. When we challenge our understanding of profit, all kinds of new possibilities arise. How do we […]

Systems Thinking and Public Policy – Start Making Sense

Systems Thinking and Public Policy – Start Making Sense

An article in Governing.com informs about how linear logic drastically failed the Boston suburb of Somerville when a highway and an overpass were built right through it. The unintended consequences of the road building that seemed rational were huge for the community of the suburb. Mayor Curtatone had the good sense to team up with a Systems […]

Free Yourself and Your Organization from Limiting Beliefs

Free Yourself and Your Organization from Limiting Beliefs

Every individual,  business and organization experiences the sensation of getting stuck at some point. They know they are capable of doing more, even significantly more, but they don’t know how.

Does Universal Healthcare Make Any Sense?

Does Universal Healthcare Make Any Sense?

A recent conversation was a reminder that few things like universal healthcare can mark a divide between Americans and Europeans (and Canadians). Americans tend to consider healthcare not a right but something to be earned. There is a moral argument going on here.

Protecting Projects from Chaos: A Tool

Protecting Projects from Chaos: A Tool

Projects can easily get out of hand. They are subject to the chaos that can arise when human interactions are not governed by precise guidelines.
