Some systems are bigger than others.

As the Smiths once sang, “Some systems are bigger than others, some systems’ mothers are bigger than other systems’ mothers”. Ok maybe not, but following on from this and that it’s worthwhile showing that some parts dominate the ecosystem. In my experience, the more embedded a component is, the more difficult it is to change or replace. This part of the ecosystem has deep roots. No-one knows who planted it or why, but it’s been here for as long as anyone can remember…

This Thinkery was captured live during a series of workshops by We Are Open, for Catalyst.
