Thinking for results

It is possible to objectively assess whether a business is successful only after ten years of operation, when throughout all that time it generates stable and confident income. Practice shows that within five years of operation, 95% of companies in a wide variety of fields close down. This happens for different reasons: the owner loses interest, goes bankrupt, sells the business. After this period, around 5% of companies remain afloat, 2.5% of which continue operating without generating income, while the remaining 2.5% not only operate but also actively develop.

An entrepreneur, even if he is not yet one, always thinks about organising a structure that will function without failures. In business, in addition to tasks connected with producing specific products, there are many problems, including: organising space, installing communications, design, purchasing consumables, regulating the working day, cleaning premises, product logistics, arranging the checkout area, displaying goods, and much more. When all these issues fall upon the poor entrepreneur’s head, the situation becomes hell for him. He tries to comprehend and do everything alone in order to save money at the initial stage or sincerely believes that he can handle everything, but quickly drowns in a whirlpool of concerns. So what then — not undertake the matter at all? Of course undertake it. But there is one “but.” Only a person with systems thinking and knowledge of the systems approach will be able to build a structure with functioning and interacting mechanisms, where everyone at their own point performs specific actions that lead to the desired result. What is the essence of such thinking?

Systems thinking is a way of perceiving and analysing the surrounding world aimed at understanding the interconnections and interdependence of elements within complex systems. It allows one to see the whole picture, take into account the relationships between system components and the external environment, identify the causes and consequences of processes, and determine the key factors influencing system behaviour. It may sound complicated, but if you think through each point, you will come to understand that this is the only way one should act.
