Systems thinking is that everyone lives in a social system, people join any organization, are also a system, people's behavior and activities where the choice will be affected by the system, so, in order to get the job done, it is necessary to the system thinking. Aytekin believes that systems thinking can work, live, or anywhere else you want to be promoted.
Systems thinking there are three core principles: 1, all things are all systems: product, team, market, principles, hobbies, and even an elephant is a system. 2, understand (or sound) system, you must fully understand each part of the system, as well as between each section is about how to contact. 3, if you can not see or experience the entire system, you need to create a lot of models, and then put them together. This is the only way you know it.
So how to apply systems thinking? Aytekin gives three suggestions:
First, understand and use feedback. Aytekin think people go to first understand a "system", feedback to make it clear what factors will influence or affect the operation of the system, and then make adjustments. For example, you want to improve running speed, you can increase the running frequency or increase the interval training, looking for the coach to adjust the intake of nutrients and so on.
Second, to explore patterns and trends. When you want to improve the efficiency of the system, patterns and trends as clues to unlock the English word fill game, they will give you inspiration, change your mind. In the ideal case, patterns and trends will even point you've never thought about the place, person or idea. Focus on trends and patterns also allow us to be sensitive to changes in time.
Third, figure out the problem, or system of people. In solving the problem, you can first check to see if the problem is not the system, such as whether the product is defective, whether the transport efficiency is low, such as whether people behave misconduct, if the problem is the system can be optimized. If the system is not a problem, it is necessary to see whether the people's problems, such as the work of new employees due to the accumulation, lack of communication and so will the system have a significant impact between the teams.
