Systems thinking in management involves understanding the organization as a complex system of interrelated components. It requires leaders to assess how different roles, functions, and team dynamics interact to achieve the organization's objectives. By adopting this approach, leaders can design teams that are more resilient, adaptable, and capable of addressing complex challenges. This involves considering the flow of information, decision-making processes, and how teams collaborate and communicate. Implementing systems thinking leads to more strategic resource allocation, enhances problem-solving capabilities, and improves the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. In this presentation we’ll explore topics like Team Topologies, Conway’s Law, Value Stream Maps and more, to help leaders structure and empower growing teams for success at scale.
