  System Thinking is an advanced mindset that top engineers, scientist and entrepreneurs use to solve complex problems.

  Think about building something like SpaceX's rockets, design a car, building Burj Khalifa, design iPhone, design a government, ... - all are very complex work that ordinary people can't do.

  For Dayone as a tech company, system thinking is even more critical because:

  • It can be used to consult our clients about complex business problem.
  • It can be used to solve complex software technical problem.
  • Behind the scene, every software is a system itself.
  • Dayone - is designed by system-thinking.

  System Thinking is "one-of" the factor that explain why many billionaires and tech entrepreneurs are from engineering background that (in computer, and AI era). They ENGINEER a system that allows those things to happen.

  System Thinking is one of the engineering job.
