"Yet we act as if simple cause and effect is at work. We push to find the one simple reason things have gone wrong. We look for the one action, or the one person, that created this mess. As soon as we find someone to blame, we act as if we've solved the problem"

This quote by Margaret J. Wheatley speaks with the tendency of people to oversimplify intricate issues. We frequently look for a single cause or person to blame for an issue, as if this will solve the problem. However, this technique stops working to acknowledge the complexity of the situation and the several aspects that may have added to the problem. It is important to acknowledge that many concerns are the outcome of a combination of elements, and that a single person or action is seldom the sole cause. By taking a more holistic technique to analytical, we can much better understand the underlying concerns and develop more efficient services.
