Critical Thinking
Harnessing data effectively is challenging. Fortunately, there’s an answer. We call this System Thinking for data – and it represents an end-to-end, enterprise-wide vision for how data, applications, processes, and people can all work in concert to drive innovation and change. System Thinking is so essential for data leaders today. It's is critical for data scientists to have a good appreciation of systems thinking and also to practice it.
Peter Senge sums up lucidly what systems thinking is: “Systems thinking is a discipline for seeing the ‘structures’ that underlie complex situations, and for discerning high from low leverage change. That is, by seeing wholes we learn how to foster health. To do so, systems thinking offers a language that begins by restructuring how we think.”
There are many stakeholders, such as LOB business analysts, data scientists, data engineers, data stewards, data governance councils, InfoSec analysts, administrators, and more. System Thinking is crucial to enabling all these people to work together effectively.
