The two top enemies of systems thinking are politics and academics, which might explain why you didn’t learn about this topic in school @_drdonaldson #AskTSOE @ronaldbaker @edkless

[The Soul of Enterprise @asktsoe]

Regarding systems thinking: “There are no boundaries between any of the departments or actions. They are all integrated.” —William Donaldson @_drdonaldson #AskTSOE @ronaldbaker @edkless

[The Soul of Enterprise @asktsoe]

Culture emerges from the system. There is no culture in an organization initially. It’s just an assemblage of people. Your culture emerges and people pick it up. It comes from the interaction of the elements in an organization. @_drdonaldson #AskTSOE @ronaldbaker @edkless

[The Soul of Enterprise @asktsoe]

Why are organizations calling people back to the office? One part of it is that if you’re not in person, you are missing out on serendipity and richness of interaction. @_drdonaldson #AskTSOE @ronaldbaker @edkless

“Change brings about great uncertainty unless we are very clear and very precise with our language.” —William Donaldson; In other words, “Common language, common mental model” @_drdonaldson #AskTSOE @ronaldbaker @edkless

[The Soul of Enterprise @asktsoe]

Our guest today, William Donaldson, author of Simple_Complexity, loves this quote from George Box: “All models are wrong. Some are useful.” @_drdonaldson #AskTSOE @ronaldbaker @edkless

😜 Willy visited the Enron website the day they filed for bankruptcy and pulled down their statement of values. They included transparency, honesty, and integrity. Of course they did! @_drdonaldson #AskTSOE @ronaldbaker @edkless

@g3cfo @g3cfo Mark, It's starting to catch on. Alas, it will probably be like ISO, lean, learning organizations, and all the other management fads where C-Suites talk about it but don't actually learn or embrace it!

[Willy Donaldson @_drdonaldson]

@g3cfo I agree, Mark, The Goal is great.
