Notes
Learning Systems Thinking
Montalion, Diana
Shameless self promotion
Open
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Pirsig, Robert
This is the philosophical root of Knowledge Flow. Pirsig names the core problem: we keep rebuilding the same factories because we never interrogate the rationality that produced them.
Open
Thinking in Systems
Meadows, Donella
Meadows gives readers the grammar of systems thinking: stocks, flows, feedback loops, leverage points. This is the first time many people realize they’ve been solving the wrong problems.
Open
The Fifth Discipline
Senge, Peter
This book connects individual learning to organizational learning. It introduces mental models, shared vision, and team learning as system properties—not HR initiatives.
Open
The New Economics
Deming, W Edwards
Deming teaches that most failure is systemic, not individual—and that optimizing parts destroys wholes. His System of Profound Knowledge maps directly onto modern software, AI, and sociotechnical systems.
Open
Cynefin Weaving Sense-Making
​
Cynefin reframes decision-making as context-sensitive. It explains why best practices fail in complex domains—and why knowledge must be probed, not prescribed.
Open
Deep Work
Newport, Cal
Knowledge Flow requires protecting time, energy, and attention. Newport shows why deep cognitive work is becoming rarer—and more valuable—inside distracted systems.
Open
The Social Life of Information
​
This book explains why formal systems fail without informal practices. Knowledge flows through communities, stories, and relationships—not just tools
Open
Thinking Fast and Slow
​
Kahneman reveals why rational systems routinely make irrational decisions. Cognitive bias, heuristics, and illusion of understanding are not bugs—they’re features you must design around.
Open
Team Topologies
​
This is Knowledge Flow applied to software teams. It shows how organizational structure shapes communication, cognition, and delivery—and why architecture follows interaction patterns.
Open
Working Knowledge
​
This book dismantles the myth that knowledge can be “captured and delivered.” Knowledge is relational, contextual, and socially constructed—long before “knowledge graphs” made this fashionable.
