Your phone and computer systems are frequently updating

to serve your needs and wants. ensuring that systems last.

Remember this throughout the rest of this post.

Living a life without clear purpose is like floating in space.

My daily routine would be chaotic, and so would my life, without a system to follow.

As an individual, I create my own systems: a system for everyday living, goals, learning, and fun.

Otherwise, my actions would be impulsive.

The how-to of building a system now is more important than just deliver a system.

Systems support our goals and purpose to achieve our needs and wants.

It's easier to create a system for oneself than to create one for the masses.

The concept of systems has ancient roots, dating back to the Egyptian pyramids and Sumerian writing systems.

The formal development of systems as a field emerged in the 20th century.

Every company, organization, institution, and government runs on a system to operate and serve customers and citizens.

Systems are aging like a humans

Many large corporations and bureaucratic institutions have evolved into complex and rigid systems.

They're running on old rusty systems, like an owner driving an old rusty car that refuses to replace or fix it until it breaks down.

Systems age like humans; if you don't eat healthily and exercise, your health won't support you as you age.

Similarly, sticking to the same system without improvement leads to aging systems. Thus, they can't maintain support new needs.

Systems worked well in the past. Now, they hardly scale to serve new needs and wants nor sustain the future.

Because a system is a group of interrelated or interacting components. that form a unified whole and work together to achieve a common purpose or goal.

It consist of components, interconnectivity, structure, purpose, boundaries, inputs & outputs, feedback & control.

When systems are no longer effective, they are prone to break down and result in massive public resentment. People demand that the system be fixed

Aged systems act as barriers to innovation and are signs of a deteriorating company or institution.

For example, the healthcare system serves as an example of a dysfunctional system that has become complex, bureaucratic, and prioritizes profits over patient care.

Corporations and institutions fail to improve their systems for two parts

Part one is behavioural:

• The mindset of "that's just the way things are"

• complexity make the task of replacing core systems seem daunting and impractical

• Certain parties benefit. vested interests resist reforms that could disrupt the status quo.

Part two is lacking the skills:

System creators need a creative systematic approach to building or improving systems. Yet, the tools and methods they use are often outdated.

Human-system thinking is often lacking, neglecting to consider all aspects comprehensively.

This includes struggles, experiences, needs, barriers, risks, tools, technology, human resources, and support necessary to create the right system.

Ignoring the complexity of new technology, changing skills, and evolving human behaviors leads to failure.

Gathering input from users and key parties without involving everyone properly will cause problems in the system once its delivered.

Without a creative system approach, there will be a lack of clear goals, objectives, and scope.

Systems are integral to the solution your product or service offers. The benefits of having great systems include:

Having systems provides clarity on your current processes and future direction, offering a clear roadmap.

Systems also make it easier to set and achieve specific goals.

A creative system approach involves designing solutions tailored to your needs, considering the project's nature, environment, and scenario.

The tools of creative system:

• Design thinking

• human-centred system thinking

• Journey maps and service blueprints

• Prototyping and validating

Creative system will enable you to:

• Define the clear purpose, goals and outcomes the system needs to achieve.

• Break down the system into its component processes, activities and workflows. Visualize each step from start to finish to identify potential bottlenecks

• Define the roles of all people involved in executing the system's processes.

• Assign responsibilities and promote a sense of ownership among team members.

Using the proper approach to building systems results in smart and efficient systems that support your service, product, and operations, ultimately leading to better service for people.

Any system you build should be flexible and capable of scaling through design and innovation. Anticipating future changes is essential when building systems.

Change is accelerating rapidly.

The question is, are you able to build systems that keep pace with these changes? Can your systems not only adapt to change but also shape new trends?

The creative system approach is something you can adopt for your personal life, career or business learn more about it here
