Systems thinking reference
Hello community,
I would like to get a (practical) book on how to use Systems thinking as a Scrum Master and / or organizational Change Agent.
Any reference you have in mind?
Jean-Michel
Three things to consider:
- When would a Scrum Master or change agent not use systems thinking in their work?
- Perhaps the book you are looking for has not been written yet.
- There are diminishing returns to be had on investments in organizational complexity, a decline which can sometimes be mitigated by innovation. I have found "The Collapse of Complex Societies" by Joseph Tainter (New Studies in Archaeology, Cambridge University Press) to be indispensable.
Hi Jean-Michel, Hoverstadt and Reynolds' book Systems Approaches to Managing Change: A Practical Guide (2010) is a great intro to systems thinking with practical, actionable frameworks and techniques for change agents. Not written for agile orgs or roles specifically but I am sure you'll find it useful
