Sinopse
No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Donella H. Meadows’ Thinking in Systems in just a short listen.
A few key insights from Chapter 1:
- A system isn't just a collection of random items. Rather, it is a collection of interconnected elements that are organized in a way that accomplishes a goal. A system has three core constituents: elements, interconnections, and a function or purpose.
- A system is greater than the sum of its parts. It may behave in ways that are adaptive, dynamic, goal-oriented, self-preserving, and even evolutionary.
- Systems are made up of elements. The elements are the easiest parts to notice, because they are tangible and visible. Some elements are special cells, like chloroplasts, or the vessels that carry fluids. Other elements are intangible things, like school pride.
- Physical flows, such as water in a tree trunk or a student progressing through university, are examples of system interconnections. Many interconnections are information flows, which are signals that travel through a system to decision or action points.
