A working guide to systems thinking: how stocks, flows and feedback loops produce the behaviour we see, why delays and limits make well-run systems surprise us, which traps keep organisations stuck, and where a small push changes the most. Six sections, six hands-on interactives, and a habit you can use on any problem.
