Couldn't agree more. Thanks for breaking down the nuances here; it's so easi to misinterpret how systems thinking applies to true complexity. Your insights really hit home.
An excellent approach for someone to take who is standing up a program office in a complex organization. I look forward to diving into all of your previous articles on systems thinking. Great stuff brother
Right now, I'm working with a PMO that is intent on failing. For them, systems thinking is just too much. Push the easy button, make someone else do the hard work... Unicorn farts and fairy dust.
There is a serious discussion on whether we just let them faceplant and get it over with or at least try to help them out which might just turn into a slow bleed!
Yeah that’s the problem when people/groups are definitely failing but systems supporting them keep them afloat. Defining failure just as important as success.
More and more people keep just pasting in AI and it's resulting in me unsubscribing from them. However, every time I see your e-mails I get excited because I know it's not only going to be a fun read but also a human read with all the fun twists and turns. Thanks for that!
In the long run, roles and titles will start to orbit coherent minds, not the other way round.
The real „growth asset“ is the network of people who think at the level of frameworks (Minds of the Core) and those who can quietly rewire practice from within (Minds of Integrity).
I don’t run a fund for this.
What I do run is a written-first architecture where these minds can find each other, refine their own structure, and begin to act as the grounding layer of the world that’s coming.

Thanks, I appreciate that. The article that spawned it was ironic in making systems thinking so much harder to understand.

Haha sometimes failure is the best lesson for those unwilling to adapt.

Mike, as always, GREAT perspective and thanks for framing the If AND So in this equation in these important conversations! 💪🙏🔥
Awesome. Ironic that the fellow misunderstood systems thinking so bad while trying to grapple with complexity.
Very interesting thank you for spending your time writing this. I totally different perspective. I like it!
Awesome to hear and thanks!
Be great to chat with you about this, Michael. Can we? My email is mike@preempt.life

It’s getting bad! It’s too much of an ‘easy button’ and people are missing the value of writing.
