Global thinking

Global thinking means looking at the situation from the perspective of the whole, interdependencies and long-term consequences.

Definition

Global thinking helps you see the context, connections and side effects of decisions. It is especially important in complex problems, where a simple reaction to one element can worsen the operation of the entire system. It does not replace the analysis of details, but complements it with a broader picture.

Practice and life

Before you decide, ask: How will this change impact people, resources, time, emotions, and other projects over the next three months?

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to use global thinking as an excuse for lack of specificity. The big picture must lead to operational decisions.
