Open Systems
Intentionally communicate with and learn from others outside of your system.
Individuals, teams and entire organizations can acknowledge interdependence and intentionally invite people from outside their system to bring in knowledge, experience and influence to assist with decision-making and support collective learning.
- External experts can offer an outside perspective and bring knowledge, understanding and skills
- Representatives of affected parties can inform and influence decision-making in ways that benefit overall objectives (see Involve Those Affected)
