    Systems Thinking with Bruce Cameron

    On today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Bruce Cameron. He's the director of the system architecture group, a senior lecturer, and the faculty director for MIT's Architecture and System Engineering Online Certificate Program. In this episode, we'll explore the world of systems thinking, what it really means to see the connections between events, why the decisions you make early in any complex system can determine everything that follows, and how organizations consistently undermine themselves by optimizing the wrong things. From NASA to Amazon to Meta, Bruce has seen systems succeed and fail at the highest levels, and he's here to share what he's learned, including some surprises along the way.
