  We think in lists, not in connections

  Deleting one line in Excel cost an organisation its collaboration. Why lists hide what is going on, and how you learn to draw arrows.

  Have a look at your own notes from the last meeting. Chances are it is a list. A few points with asterisks in front of them, something you scribbled next to it later, and then another asterisk. In a workshop on strategic thinking I predict to the group what their notes will look like later. And that is usually right.

  That is actually how we were raised. We are trained to think in lists. I do not mind that, until you make decisions based on that list. A list does show what is there. What relates to what, you do not see in it.
