1. Systems thinking: optimize for the whole

Move beyond local optimizations and design for stability, incentives, and second-order effects.

What you'll learn

  • How to spot local vs. global optima
  • How incentives change behavior
  • How to prevent fragility

Key insights

If you only optimize a part, you can degrade the whole. Map incentives, feedback loops, and constraints before changing the system.
