Shotgun learning? No, I'm not going after the squirrels, racoons, and skunks that live in the back yard. Rather, I'm hopping onto the net to sift through items in some favourite hangouts just to see what's out there today. It's more edgy and less predictable than reading the New York Times

We who share our thoughts online, driven more by personal interest than commercial reward, are a loosely knit Community of Practice. People ask where I find the time to blog. I explain that this is the way I think. It doesn't take much extra time to divert a few sentences into blog. That trail of words and images becomes a lure to people on paths that parallel mine. I'm thankful to have a medium for starting conversations on things that interest me.

We've had a hundred years of management science and management consultancy based on Newtonian physics and Taylorist principles. A lot of good things like process reengineering and quality management happened by applying machine metaphors to the firm. The trouble is that when you move on to trying to manage areas such as knowledge, learning and strategy you are moving into a completely different frame - a system which is inherently complex. At that point you have to completely rethink management methods.

The link between hospital employee management practices and patient mortality emerged as strong in this study. The largest, that between appraisal and deaths following admissions for hip fractures, shows that for hospitals of equal size and local population health needs, an improvement of one standard deviation in the extensiveness/sophistication of the appraisal system is associated with, on average, a drop of 0.494 standard deviations in deaths after hip fractures. This is equivalent to 1090 fewer deaths per 100,000 (age standardised admissions) - more than 1% of all admissions, or 12.3% of the mean number of deaths.

There will be meanings, images and details associated with these concepts which are particular to me, and a product of my personal history and educational experience.

What is a Systems Thinker?
\ A Systems Thinker is one who intuits and sees the whole of a thing, the entirety of it, the one-ness of it, the integrated unity of it, as opposed to merely the sum of its parts.
\ A Systems Thinker transcends the world in order to transform it.
\ A Systems Thinker is an inventor as opposed to an engineer.
\ A Systems Thinker sees purpose in everything, and sees the system as the realization of the purpose.
\ A Systems Thinker sees meaning in everything, and if not, pursues everything until the meaning becomes clear, until the System reveals itself in all its glory.
\ A Systems Thinker is possessed by the meaning of things.
\ All great entrepreneurs are Systems Thinkers.
\ All who wish to become great entrepreneurs need to learn how to become a Systems Thinker. Or, more accurately, need to develop their innate passion for seeing things whole.
