“Winners and losers have the same goals. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” ​ This is what James Clear says in his book, Atomic Habits. A book you should study if you want to do any good in life. ​ People still behave as beheaded chickens in life. Jumping from a shiny object to the next. From a low-key task to the next. From a fire to the next. ​ No systems. No learnings. ​ Don’t show me the wheel, I’m too busy pushing this rock. ​ I’ve seen this behaviour too many times. Sure, you’ve seen it too. ​ No wonder, why one of the key lessons learnt in my last PPP project has lots of things to do with systems and James Clear advice.

The system's premium package: Complain and do nothing. Blame your...
They called it Berlin Brandenburg Airport.A “flagship” project.Germany’s answer to efficiency.Built for the public. Delivered by a “consortium.” They forgot one tiny detail: systems. Unbelievable when you are talking about Germany, right? But real. Fire safety? Didn’t work.Smoke extraction? Backwards.Wiring? Rewired 3 times.Doors? Over 1,200 installed — then reversed — then reinstalled. Because the systems didn’t talk to each other.Because no one was in charge of systems...
People prefer to be right to make money. People prefer to be right to win projects. People prefer to be right to deliver projects. Keep that in mind. Power points, papers, boring conferences to celebrate how much theoretical knowledge we have about nothing. People get this always wrong. When people seek advice about business, they think that it’s a serious mistake to only accept criticism from people making millions. When people seek advice about delivering a major bridge, they think that...
