The Illusion of Systems Approach: Understanding the Root Causes of Catastrophic Events in Modern History

  • Summary

  • On February 1, 2003, NASA's Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry to Earth, resulting in the loss of seven astronauts. Similarly, on April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig in the Gulf of Mexico suffered an explosion, which led to the loss of 11 lives, 17 injured, and incurred damages worth $50 billion. These two catastrophic events are significant in modern history and have prompted inquiries into the root causes of such tragedies.


    In this context, Graham delves into the concept of system dynamics, including confirmation bias, mental models, emotional space, and team culture, to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying factors that contributed to these events. System dynamics play a crucial role in all human social interactions and provide valuable insights into the human psyche at a fundamental level.
