Opinion: ‘A system’ (when we talk about it in its broad social or even organisational terms) can’t ‘be broken’ if there was never one there to start with!

Hopping between high-walled silos is not a system. Systems require ‘a context’ within which to operate. A bunch of functions led by individuals do not create context, it’s formed through the live lateralisation of functions, processes, along with the ability to appreciate and hold multiple perspectives, relationships and interconnections, the ‘betweeness’ of things.

Think physics, think human brain! Together they create the context, the ‘gestalt’ for want of any better term. Without a deep understanding of our context positive change, progress, creativity and ‘systems’ are not possible – we are forced to engage with unhealthy competition – win/lose. Doesn’t have to be that way…..
