中本 哲史

I’ll say it again and again, we are entering an era that will reward systems thinkers. Systems thinking is the ability to understand how the parts of a broader system connect and influence one another over time. It means recognizing feedback loops, anticipating consequences, and understanding how a decision in one area can create trade-offs in another. The boundaries of our professions have always been narrower than the consequences of our work. As AI begins to blur these boundaries, and as our world becomes increasingly interconnected in non-linear ways, systems thinking will become essential. I don’t think this signals the end of expertise, as some people proclaim. But the ability to zoom out and make connections across a broader system will be crucial.
