Is “Systems Thinking is dead” the new “Agile is dead”? In this episode, we do a summary episode on what became a 4 episode series stemming from a disparaging article about systems thinking by Ed Braden. We react to the article, get Ed’s response and then - using a little help from Google Ai - offer successful examples of implementing systems in large government projects.Links:- Bradon's article: worksinprogress.co/issue/magical-systems-thinking/- Bradon's self-responses on X: x.com/EdBradon/status/1966470317288616342- Ed's reply on Twitter: x.com/EdBradon/status/1971266284990976361- Gall's Law: www.driverlesscrocodile.com/processes-w…-galls-law/Shape Up episodes:Ryan Singer on Basecamp and Shape Up, Part Ihttps://soundcloud.com/troubleshootingagile/ryan-singer-on-basecamp-and-shape-up-part-iRyan Singer on Basecamp and Shape Up, Part IIhttps://soundcloud.com/troubleshootingagile/ryan-singer-on-basecamp-and-shape-up-part-ii Ryan Singer on Basecamp and Shape Up, Part IIhttps://soundcloud.com/troubleshootingagile/ryan-singer-on-basecamp-and-shape-up-part-iii Full episodes on this topic:Someone is wrong on the internet about systems thinking! https://soundcloud.com/troubleshootingagile/someone-is-wrong-on-the-internet-about-systems-thinkingSystems Thinking rant redux, Part I https://soundcloud.com/troubleshootingagile/systems-thinking-rant-redux-part-iSystems Thinking rant redux, Part II https://soundcloud.com/troubleshootingagile/systems-thinking-rant-redux-part-iiSystems Thinking rant redux, Part IIIhttps://soundcloud.com/troubleshootingagile/systems-thinking-rant-redux-part-iii --------------------------------------------------You'll find free videos and practice material, plus our book Agile Conversations, at agileconversations.comAnd we'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas, or feedback you have about the show: email us at [email protected]--------------------------------------------------About Your HostsDouglas Squirrel and Jeffrey Fredrick joined forces at TIM Group in 2013, where they studied and practised the art of management through difficult conversations.
