“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards…this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
The foundation of Steve Jobs incredible ability to connect the dots is built upon his Systems Thinking skills.
Systems thinking is a process through which one comprehends a system by examining the interactions and linkages that exist between the components of the system.
Systems Thinking provides methods to push beyond the immediate problems to see the underlying patterns, to fix issues or o implement holistic improvements.
Trained in Systems thinking by Jason Lim (Systems Thinking Guru), coupled with a curios disposition and decades of build experience, brings a particularly acute 3-D model of how systems inter-operate in the real-world.
This career-long, honed ability to break systems down into their discrete components - while re-imaging their configuration - provides extremely valuable oversight as programs goes from concept, through design, and into build, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
