This document discusses systems thinking and improving systems. It notes that optimizing individual parts of a system can sub-optimize the whole system, and instead the interactions between parts and optimizing the whole system should be the goal. It provides an example of improving a car by optimizing the overall performance and interactions between parts rather than just individual parts. The document recommends taking a "bird's eye view" and thinking about resources and the big team to understand a system as a whole.
32. A system is a set of parts where
1. The behavior of each element has an
effect on the behavior of the whole
2. The behavior of the elements
are inderdependent
3. Each subgroup has an effect on
the behavior of the whole and none
has an independent effect on it
