What do you do if your industry is facing complex problems?
When your industry encounters complex problems, it's like being in the midst of a storm. You can feel overwhelmed, unsure where to turn or what to do next. But just like any seasoned captain facing a tempest, you need a strategy to navigate through the difficulties. Systems design offers a structured approach to problem-solving, allowing you to dissect the issue and create a roadmap towards a solution. Remember, the goal is not to eliminate complexity but to manage it effectively.
