Andrea Magnorsky 😹 🦙A team is a system 🎉
Trond Hjorteland@roundcrisis I tried to claim this too but was sternly corrected by Merrelyn Emery. A team is a part of a larger system, the organisation. Off course, if the the team is the org, then it is a system.

Curious Q: what's in-between an individual and the organizational system, if a team is not a system?

@dahukanna @roundcrisis Both the teams and the individuals are parts of the system that is the org. Treating them like systems in their own rights, in this context, will lead to problems.
@dahukanna @roundcrisis Mind you, this is probably based on open systems thinking, where all systems has an environment. Ackoff used containing systems, which can be argued as closed, and there there is a nested hierarchy. Not sure if the teams would be a system in that framing, or parts. Still think the latter as teams are interconnected and then parts of something bigger.
