A short YouTube talk by David Jenyns asserting that a business functions as a collection of systems; problems in a business arise from underperforming system components, so identify critical systems and apply system-level solutions to fix specific problems.

Whether you're conscious of it or not, your business is a collection of systems. If you eat poorly and you don't exercise, the result of running and completing those steps consistently over a period of time is going to be potentially, you'll be unhealthy, overweight, and it's a result of running that just because whether you're conscious of it or not won't change the outcome. So what I want you to become aware of, your business is just a collection of systems. So if you're having certain problems that are happening in the business, it's probably because there are certain components of that system that aren't performing well. So you just have to become aware that it's a collection of systems. And then you start working on firstly, we figure out what are the critical systems, but then later on you look for where the problems are, and then you try and find the systems solution to solve that problem.
