S3E1: System Thinking - A powerful tool of leverage

Transformational Insights Demystified Podcast

Levers and associated leverage unlocks countless opportunities due to the strategic advantage they provide to deliver significant impact from small efforts.

What if you had the lever to address the complex interrelated and tangled relationships in your business, policy, technical and personal spaces?

System thinking is a powerful tool that provides a holistic lens to problem solving that not only identifies blind spots and minimize unanticipated outcomes; but it also helps to highlight key leverage points with exponential impacts.

The true power of system thinking in application is the leverage that it provides to have exponential impacts by tackling complex issues as close to the root as possible. It first unlocks patterns, and then drives deeper to identify critical connections and ‘pressure points’ where the smallest actions produces the most impactful results.
In this excerpt of my System Thinking Discourse video series, I share some insights into the leverage that system thinking provides using a doctor’s visit analogy. I provide insights using practical examples to highlight the importance of identifying the constraints in your system as a stronger leverage than treating symptoms.
