Recent Talks

  • You do not right to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

    James Clear

  • The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself, and if a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory.

    Robert M. Pirsig

  • Conceptual integrity is the most important consideration in systems design.

    Fred Brooks

  • “You think that because you understand “one” that you must therefore understand “two” because one and one make two. But you forget that you must also understand “and.”

    Donella H. Meadows

  • Systems thinking is a discipline for seeing wholes. It is a framework for seeing interrelationships rather than things, for seeing 'patterns of change' rather than static 'snapshots'.

    Peter Senge

  • A system is never the sum of its parts, its the product of their interaction.

    Russell Ackoff
