Learn Systems Thinking

Leaps in human achievement only happen when more people overclock their brains more frequently. When more individuals train their consciousness to higher levels of being working on tackling the wicked problems of the word. Systems Thinking can help.

Abstract and concrete Thinking sit on opposite side of each other on the systems thinking. You can even argue both are creative or logical thinking styles at the same time.

_
In abstract thinking, you generalise reality in terms of formulas, analogies, relationships, concepts and ideas which then you can use to predict the future. In doing so, you go deep in each concept to understand the underlying mechanisms.

_
For example, Newton’s laws of motion were derived using this thinking style by observing how objects behave when they move. You can now use these laws to predict the landing spot of a ball when you throw it in the air.

_
This is the dominant thinking style of scientists and mathematicians as they use it significantly throughout their career.

_
On the other hand, in concrete thinking style you zero on practicality. Instead of focusing on ideas and concepts, you consider the details that represent reality as close as possible.

_
In this mode of thinking, you are only concerned with the application of ideas and concepts derived by abstract thinking in solving your real physical problems.

_
You try to visualise your solution and reason objectively if a solution will work in your situation.

_
For example, you want to have better conversations. So, while you're doing some research, you come across a concept – that you need to ask open-ended questions to keep the conversation flowing. When you start thinking to yourself what these “open” questions might be in a “real” conversation, you are exercising concrete thinking.

_
This is the dominant thinking style of engineers and programmers who apply concepts derived by abstract thinking to solve a real physical problem. For example, when they use formulas to design and programme a 733 kg car to handle 93-degree corners at 123 mph.

_
Think about both thinking styles... Can you see how both go hand in hand to help you solve even the most challenging problems in your life?
