Why STW Failed

STW Project

The world is totally individualistic and heavily fragmented because of that. Systems Thinking is not enough. We need Systems Acting in hope to get to the desired result. We have no acting at all because we cannot agree even on a plan!!

Dmitry Sokolov Alice, I agree: "If I am reading this as intended, the second assumption seems to be that we want consensus on terminology when we are talking about the same "thing." I believe deeply in dialogue around terminology. And I think that dialogue surfaces legitimate differences because of different lived experiences. Those explored differences might become valuable for various purposes such as building relationships and agility. Thoughts?"
Especially about the "agility" of our actions. In actual world all is "fuzzy": terms, "things", boundaries, everything is changing depending on the locality: participants, their experiences, situation, goals, etc.

As Derek mentioned, water supplier would Think in terms of "people surplus", those thirsty people would Talk in terms of "water shortage" (in the best case smile emoticon ), and only their common practice (Action) towards selected common goal would make them understand each other, to find the common sense to those fuzzy mental constructs we are talking about here. smile emoticon
That's, probably, one of the examples illustrating meaningless of Systems Thinking without Systems Action, without it's application to solving real problems in every particular locality.
