is systemic thinking?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who has experienced group activity, teamwork, and organizational work, or who has spent a short time trying to educate others, knows what systems thinking is and has experienced that one of the major weaknesses in many Less <a href=\"https:\/\/dgding.com\/en\">developed<\/a> cultures are weak in\u00a0<strong>systems thinking<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Consider these examples:<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, Behdad was experiencing a lot of anxiety due to life problems.\u00a0One of his friends was a smoker and suggested him to smoke to reduce his anxiety.\u00a0In the first days, smoking reduced his anxiety.\u00a0But after some time, his body got used to smoking.\u00a0Now, when he was not smoking, he also experienced increased anxiety and tension.\u00a0Cigarettes, which once seemed like a solution, were now added to Behdad&#8217;s previous problems.<\/p>\n<p>About ten years ago, it became clear that there was a theft in the warehouse of a factory.\u00a0The factory managers were suspicious of the storekeeper.\u00a0But changing the storekeeper did not solve the problem.\u00a0They increased the number of storekeepers to three in each shift to make theft more difficult.\u00a0The thefts decreased for a while but continued again.\u00a0They hired more storekeepers.\u00a0It happened again.\u00a0Temporary decrease and increase again.\u00a0They put a new guard booth outside the warehouse to keep an eye on the warehouse keepers.\u00a0The theft decreased for a while and then increased again.\u00a0The addition of guards only increased the amount of theft.\u00a0Because now more people should have received silence.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of providing housing, both buying and renting, has increased.\u00a0The government sees the root of the problem in housing supply.\u00a0Cheap housing is built around big cities.\u00a0People migrate from smaller cities to bigger cities and settle in these houses.\u00a0The government makes rules that the owners must be residents of the city itself.\u00a0People buy a cheap house and rent it to immigrants and put that rent on their income and rent a place in the city.\u00a0The population of the city will eventually increase, and with the gradual transfer from the suburbs to the city, the demand for housing will increase, and everything will be the same as a few years ago: high costs and poor quality of life.\u00a0During this time, only a part of the public resources is gone.<\/p>\n<p>There are many such examples.\u00a0We set goals and choose a path that seems to lead us to our goal.\u00a0It is the same at first.<\/p>\n<p>But gradually we realize that our distance from the goal has become further and further away.\u00a0We see a problem and choose a solution that seems like it should solve the problem.\u00a0It really happens in the beginning.\u00a0But after a while, we see that the previous problem has appeared in a bigger form, or if it has been solved, a more serious problem has arisen elsewhere.\u00a0System thinking is a science that helps us make less mistakes and pay less for problem-causing solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To learn more about systemic thinking, we will discuss four topics in a simple and concise way:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is meant by system?<\/li>\n<li>How do we know that our system understanding is weak?<\/li>\n<li>What are the characteristics of systems thinking?<\/li>\n<li>Is systemic thinking only for managers and policy makers?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What is meant by system?<\/h2>\n<p>In order to better understand\u00a0what a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/System\">system<\/a> is\u00a0and what systems thinking means, it is good to start from a place where there is no system yet.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a person walking in the desert and sees a small stone in front of his feet.\u00a0For fun, he kicks the stone and it falls to the ground a few meters away.\u00a0it&#8217;s all over.\u00a0The desert is in a new state, where only one stone is different from the previous state, and probably no one will notice this change until the day when the earth and earthlings are gone.<\/p>\n<p>Now imagine another person walking in the city.\u00a0He also sees a small stone in front of his feet.\u00a0And he also kicks rocks for fun.\u00a0He has defined a simple game in his mind and wants to aim at the base of the electric light pole.<\/p>\n<p>But he makes a slight mistake in aiming and the stone hits a car parked nearby.\u00a0Someone nearby sees him and says I saw you throw stones at that car.\u00a0Leave a letter on the car and apologize.\u00a0The kicker of our story resists and says it has nothing to do with you.<\/p>\n<p>You can make the second story as long as you want and create a scenario in your mind.\u00a0For example, the owner of the car may get in between and a physical conflict occurs.\u00a0A person may even be injured and go to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Or if you don&#8217;t like this level of violence, the story ends happily and both parties agree to pay damages.\u00a0Providing money to pay damages can be a new story.\u00a0For example, he has to borrow money from someone for now and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It is clear that in the second story, it is exaggerated.\u00a0A kick does not necessarily create such a long chain of events.\u00a0But on the other hand, the probability of such problems is not low.\u00a0We all know that sometimes a hard brake on the street has led to verbal and physical conflict and even death.<\/p>\n<p>But we are not going to get involved in the details.\u00a0It is important to accept the self-evident fact that kicking a rock in a secluded desert is easier and has fewer risks and consequences than kicking the same rock in a busy city.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine two different worlds.\u00a0The first world is like that deserted desert, and it seems that whatever you do there, it disappears and disappears, leaving no trace of it.\u00a0But the second world is like that crowded city and everything is tied together and everything is connected to other things, even the simplest actions and behaviors may end up with strange and unexpected results.\u00a0During recent centuries, we have come closer than ever to this second world: &#8220;the world of systems&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Life in today&#8217;s world is full of entanglement.\u00a0In simple words, it is as if everything is tied together.<\/p>\n<p>A decision in the field of economy creates a challenge in the field of culture and an action in the field of culture affects the price of energy.\u00a0A factory is established in the Far East.\u00a0But its produced gases remain in the atmosphere and intensify the greenhouse effect in all parts of the earth.\u00a0The people of a country pay taxes and that country participates in a military coalition in another part of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The system is exactly that.\u00a0System means interwoven and nested communications.\u00a0That is, several components that are all connected to each other and changes in each affect the other.\u00a0It is even possible that today&#8217;s action will lead to a series of changes and finally, its effect &#8211; positive or negative &#8211; will return to the person taking the action after a long time, and this path will be so vague and complicated that the person or organization cannot recognize that they are experiencing the consequences of their action. he does.<\/p>\n<p>When we talk about the system, we mean a set of many components and parts that have interwoven relationships and you cannot touch and change one part of it without the other parts being affected and reacting.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this view is not so new.\u00a0Our ancestors who said &#8220;You do good and throw yourself in the Tigris&#8221; and believed that &#8220;God will give you back in the desert&#8221; had such an attitude.\u00a0With the difference that at that time, it was only a matter of belief and there was no specific mechanism for it.\u00a0But today we believe that we know many mechanisms.\u00a0Of course, another complication is that we are familiar with theories such as chaos theory and we know that sometimes when you do good and throw in the Tigris, you may get a completely different result depending on how many centimeters you &#8220;throw&#8221; here or there, and in a distant desert, Instead of &#8220;Baz&#8221;, you get another animal that you didn&#8217;t expect at all.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why is our system understanding weak?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The bitter reality is that the system understanding of all of us is somehow weak;\u00a0Especially if the discussion is extended to economic, social and political systems.<\/p>\n<p>The reason is clear.\u00a0Macro systems are the result of the interaction of millions and billions of people, hundreds of thousands of organizations, billions of processes, a multitude of basic rules and random disturbances.\u00a0It is as if we have a brain in front of us, each neuron of which is a human being, who has hundreds of billions of neurons in his mind!\u00a0Our brain can never understand a &#8220;superbrain&#8221; correctly.<\/p>\n<p>We usually try to understand subsystems;\u00a0It is as weak as our mind.\u00a0Someone who studies economics wants to better understand economic systems.\u00a0Of course, in that area, his understanding is probably limited to a small part of the economy.\u00a0A person who becomes a doctor has only gone to one subsystem of the world&#8217;s systems: the human body system.\u00a0A system that is almost nothing compared to all the systems in the world and is considered zero.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, from this subsystem, he chooses another subsystem and becomes an expert in digestion, for example.\u00a0In the same very small subsystem, he does not gain absolute control and still sometimes he has to resort to guesswork and trial and error.\u00a0So:<\/p>\n<p>It is not a realistic expectation to have a very strong system understanding.\u00a0As soon as we can understand our weakness in systemic view, and get from total systemic blindness to very poor vision, we have made a great achievement.\u00a0Knowing about weaknesses and inabilities is a form of empowerment and can prevent big and costly mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>So, for the first step, we should try to familiarize ourselves with the features of systemic thinking and see in what cases we have distanced ourselves from these features in our analysis, decisions, and finding solutions.<\/p>\n<h2>Characteristics of systems thinking<\/h2>\n<p>Many features can be listed for systemic thinking, but for now, the following can be mentioned in a few points:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Unlimited effect range<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most important characteristic\u00a0of systems thinking\u00a0is that it does not see any action or behavior as &#8220;done&#8221;.\u00a0The scope of an action expands from a moment to infinity;\u00a0Both in time and in place.<\/p>\n<p>We understand this more easily with some actions.\u00a0For example, we realize that when a child is born, the world finds a new situation that is no longer the same as before.\u00a0But we may not notice that when a repairman does not tighten one of the screws of the car well, the scope of the effect of this behavior can continue indefinitely and a chain of events may be formed whose effect is greater than the birth or non-birth of a baby.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Systems response delay<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Systems have many components and when we make a change in one corner of the system, it takes some time to see its effect in other parts.\u00a0This period may be a few seconds, a few years or even a few centuries.<\/p>\n<p>It is not easy to understand such delays for the caveman, who threw an arrow and a few seconds later, the game fell on the ground before his eyes, and the farmer, who planted and killed the land and harvested the crop in a relatively short period of time.<\/p>\n<p>Our brains (which have been purely hunter-gatherers for a large part of our several hundred thousand years of life on Earth) understand cause and effect over short time intervals.\u00a0We understand that if we knock on the door and the same sound comes from the door, that sound is the result of our knock.\u00a0But if we knock on the door and fifty years later it makes a sound, it is hard for us to accept that this sound is the result of our knock.\u00a0Meanwhile, the world of systems is full of these delayed events.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The importance of trends versus events<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many of the behaviors we see in systems do not happen instantaneously.\u00a0Rather, they are formed in the form of a process.\u00a0Here too, our mind is used to seeing events.<\/p>\n<p>It is true that a person dies from a stroke at a specific moment, but the cause of this stroke has been with him for years.\u00a0Improper nutrition, low physical activity, and dozens of other factors gradually affect his body system, and we end up seeing the &#8220;event&#8221; of a stroke instead of this &#8220;process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The separation of a couple, the bankruptcy of a company, the collapse of the Berlin Wall, and even the spark of an idea in the mind (which is usually considered a momentary event) all have hidden and visible processes behind them that directly or indirectly contribute to their formation. has done.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Being multi causal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Why has the value of the country&#8217;s currency decreased in recent years?\u00a0Why is the market share of our product low (or high)?\u00a0Why has immigration increased among the educated?\u00a0Why is the quality of our automotive industry products not good?\u00a0Why do I feel tired and exhausted?\u00a0Why the friendship that I had built in twenty years was destroyed in an instant?\u00a0Why do people read books less than before?\u00a0Why do people go to external messengers instead of internal messengers?\u00a0Why is the output of our universities not so attractive for the industry?\u00a0Why was there a revolution in Iran in 1957?<\/p>\n<p>These questions are very diverse in appearance.\u00a0But their common feature is that they are related to the behavior and state of the systems.\u00a0The type of these questions, with a question like &#8220;Why did the glass break?&#8221;\u00a0which has a simple and specific answer (for example: my hand hit it) is different.\u00a0Questions related to the behavior and state of systems are usually multi-rooted.\u00a0Several causes have joined hands to make something happen.\u00a0Whether the causes formed a chain or a set of them acted simultaneously is another issue that analysts can think about.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that if you see someone offering a single-cause explanation in explaining a complex phenomenon, it&#8217;s likely that they don&#8217;t have much understanding of systems thinking.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is systemic thinking related to managers and policy makers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Definitely not.\u00a0Systemic thinking can be used in the family environment, raising children, planning for personal development, negotiation, emotional relationship and dozens of other areas.<\/p>\n<p>However, usually the best examples for learning systems thinking are management systems and societal and policy issues.\u00a0Because the scale of these systems is large and they are easier to see, and also because they are the common experience of many of us, they can be considered as the starting point for learning systems thinking.<\/p>\n<p>But you should always remember that almost everything in today&#8217;s world is in the realm of systems.\u00a0From the plastic bag and mobile battery that we throw away, to the investment decisions that we make and to the laws that politicians make and apply to countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who has experienced group activity,
