Folder; *Systems Thinking*
Have we ever caught ourselves asking;
1) Why things are not working out?
2) Why things delay
Because often more than not, that's how they are to by the nature of the system of things.
We live in systems. We interact with systems and within these systems, we importantly interact with other players of the system.
One thing is fundamentals; All systems have delays.
So theoretically, a cause should instantaneously produce an effect.
Which some systems do;
Like.if you cut your hand, you will instantaneously bleed.
If you breathe in, oxygen will move through your nostrils
But then most of the systems we interact with have appreciable amounts of delays.
This delays come from events, elements and players of the system.
That is why as a student;
1) You will learn or take part in the process of learning but then it will take some time before you understand.
That time you take is a delay between the cause of learning and the effect of understanding.
So if you realize you might even write an exam on something you have learnt but get it entirely wrong
Some days, some months then you begin to understand what you learnt.
Sometimes,.what you learnt in class 4 you understand in JHS 1 or even the time you become a father 😂.
So in this particular scenario.
It's not really about learning hard, which you should do any way
But the real structural goal is to reduce the delay between cause of learning and effect of understanding.
To quicken the transition from learning to.understanding
Same systems exist around everywhere in the world.
Your goal as an actor is to essentially reduce the delay between cause and effect.
And surprisingly in some systems, the delay is a function of you and the other players.
At another time, we would talk about the delays of other players and what they mean to you, affect you and what to do about it.
