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.
Michael Hartle@trondhjort @roundcrisis But can't the very same argument be made against the org being a system, as it also does not exist in a void?
@mhartle @roundcrisis Where one draw the boundary is hard and a design choice for a specific reason. And finding the ones that do make sense and are useful in a given situation is not trivial for sure. They are a useful fiction as Buckminster Fuller wisely said. I do find it very useful to find the system and its environment and make that distinction explicit.
