1.Do a postmortem on every project that you undertake.

2.Go through existing projects and see if you can structure them differently and the benefits changing the structure will provide.

3.Buy and read The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge https://amzn.to/30IKxdZ . It is one of the best books on systems thinking.

4.It takes time to build the systems thinking muscle so be patient with yourself.

Excellent suggestions. I have never heard of 'systems thinking' before. Thank you for introducing this term to me.
