Understanding systems and how to change them is essential to achieve a certain goal or outcome. However, if that goal is not well defined or poorly measured, systems thinking can lead to unbeneficial outcomes. Thinking and acting as a systemic change agent/engineer, is seen as a noble but egoistic task, as one move’s the system towards their perspective of a better world. Additionally, systems of issues and systems of actors are two sides of the same coin, which highlights the importance of self-reflection on one’s role within the system. To be able to set the right goals and place one realistically within the system, developing an honest, non-judgmental and conscious mind is necessary.
