• Briefly describe an organization with which you are familiar (this can be a current or former employer) and the example of poor systems thinking you observed at this organization.
• Assess the core issues that you think led to this systems failure, including whether managers were using "yesterday's thinking" to solve today's problem.
• Explain whether there might have been a different or better outcome if managers had understood the principle and the value that systems thinking can bring to an organization's operations. Justify your explanation.
