Not sleeping at night because of policy resistance, tragedy of the commons, drift to low performance, competitive exclusion... lack of understanding of systems!

Managers aren’t confronted w problems that are independent of each other, but with dynamic situations that consist of complex systems of changing problems that interact with each other. I call such situations messes. Mgrs dont solve problems, they manage messes.

@GretaThunberg That new way of thinking can only come from an awereness of the structural impositions of our economy. We need structural change away from 'trade for profit and hope for the best' and towards a system with an active recognition of the natural limits of consumption on the planet.

Last week I spoke with leading scientists about Canada’s Changing Climate Report. Canada is warming at 2x the global average. We need to act now so our kids can have a healthy planet & good jobs. A price on pollution is a key part of that. Read the report: https://t.co/CSDh7MC6Fj

All systems are created incrementally, one character typed at a time. The choice is length and scope of feedback loops.

#Deming, "The system must be managed. And, unless it is managed, people, teams, platforms become competitive. We cannot afford competition. It's destructive. Can we ever learn? Sure we can learn. That's what we're here for."

November 9, 2016: The first-ever gathering of #SystemsThinkingTO. We ran the Red Bead Experiment, had some pizza and beer (I brought home-brew!) and talked of what we wanted from the meetup in the future, and how to keep @kosciejew from photobombing.
