Systems
The frameworks that scale skill across an organisation — plans, roles, goals, meetings, data. Systems scale value only when matched to the skill of the people using them: you don't hand a learner driver a Ferrari. Systems first, and you automate dysfunction. Systems last, and you compound.
Systems is one of the two adaptive elements, Skills & Systems. The tools of changemaking — what you can do and what you build to scale it. In a VUCA world, skills and systems must change. Leaders adapt the old and adopt the new, or they fall behind.
