I wrote a post similar to this in business context a little while back. I’m a real estate investor but I think in terms of systems almost like decision trees in my head and it helps me breakdown the actionable steps to achieve short term and long term goals within our business. Keep up the good work!!
I found the description of the system years ago, and it sticks with me: the system = elements + connections. Connections between elements in a system are as important as elements.
But usually, people forget about the second part and still believe that "more engineers in a team = better performance."
Remember about connections: sometimes elements are good, but connections will make you cry :-)
Loved how you clarified what systems thinking actually is, because a lot of times it just gets used as a buzzword.
Thanks for the great article, Michal and for the mention. You're the best!
Thank you for your kind words, Jordan, I appreciate it!
It's still not as clear and precise a description of systems as I would like, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Thanks for your thoughts on systems, Jurij.
Connections are essential! As you said, it’s important to remember them.
