For productivity systems, you can check out all of my main drivers in [[Ultimate Starter Vault]] ## Benefits - Multi-component parts which are broken down - [[Kaizen]] - Sustainable outcomes due to consistency and reliability of a system - [[Self-organization]] - [[Emergence]] ## Elements ### Inputs Things that enter the system to help it operate. ### Parts Components of the system that have their own roles and relationships with other parts. Best explained through [[Concept models]] It's important to understand how they are part of the bigger system ### Processes Actions, operations, interactions that happen in a system #### Control mechanisms For maintaining and regulating the system: - Decision-making processes - Maintenance considerations based on [[Feedback loops]] ### Outputs Results and outcomes from the processes done on the inputs. The type of output you desire is the main purpose of your system. [[The purpose of a system is what it does]] ### Feedback loops [[Feedback loops]] for self-organization, leading to diminishing or growing returns.
