Improving Team or Company Performance Starts with Seeing the Whole Picture 
When we talk about boosting performance, it’s easy to focus on individual skills or motivation. But lasting change comes from looking at the team as a system — not just the people, but how they interact, communicate, and work together.
Every company is really a team of teams.And just like any network, patterns form — silos, miscommunication, or slow feedback.
These aren’t just annoying… they hold back real progress.
That’s where Systems Thinking comes in. It helps us spot these patterns at the root — and fix the system, not just the symptoms.Stronger collaboration, smoother communication, better outcomes.
Sounds familiar? That’s because this aligns with Social Network Theory: the strength of our interactions matters just as much as individual talent.
Every team is its own little social network.

So here’s the question:
If we already believe in thinking systemically, why not use a framework built for adaptive systems?That’s what Scrum is all about.
Regular Sprints Built-in feedback (Reviews, Retros) Cross-functional teams that break down silosBut the magic only works when leaders, especially Scrum Masters, focus on the whole system, not just the parts. Not only when things go wrong, but always.
Real transformation happens when we create an environment of learning, reflection, and continuous improvement.Let’s bring this mindset to more teams in Malta!
