How to Safely Think in Systems

I read the book twice. I walked away feeling the same as OP. I would appreciate it a lot of you have any other reference material on this, any book or resource that convinced you or helped you. I feel I'm close to grasping the underlying reasoning and benefits, but think I am missing a slightly different angle on this.

I did mention several other researchers/authors, and it's hard to give a more specific recommendation without knowing what part of it attracts you.

- Deming: management philosophy

- Weinberg: software engineering

- Womack: lean vs mass production

- Leveson: accident analysis, system safety

- Dekker: system safety

- Hollnagel: operator experience

- Ward: innovation, product development

Try Business Dynamics by John Sterman.

I lent my copy to my brother over a decade ago. Still haven't got it back...

Also Exploring Requirements: Quality Before Design by Donald Gause and Gerald Weinberg. Really useful advice about questions to ask people to understand what the system really does/should do.
