Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the above choices are challenges to developing a systems thinking viewpoint in an organization. Competing goals and incentives can lead to a focus on short-term gains rather than long-term consequences. A segmented organizational structure can create silos of information and expertise, leading to a lack of coordination and collaboration across departments. Lack of information sharing can prevent the organization from seeing the big picture and making informed decisions. 'Siloed' decision-making can lead to suboptimal outcomes and unintended consequences.
