Description

Today we unpack how you can apply systems thinking in your startup and build high-value 'systems. You get the three-question framework for mapping workflows, cutting noise, and focusing on the high-value steps and how we've applied it at Zipline.io!


The few chapters

    • Defining a “system” and why complexity naturally creeps in
    • Mapping your core workflows as “arteries” and spotting the noisy “capillaries”

    • The three essential questions to evaluate any process:

      1. What’s the goal?

      2. How frequently does it run?

      3. How much waste or risk is in the flow?

    • Real-world examples in recruitment and finance on pruning unnecessary steps

    • Practical tactics for trimming complexity and building lean, scalable operations
