## A Crisis Management Worshop for Network and Security Incidents.
6-
Systems thinking and network engineering are closely related as they both involve the study of complex systems. Network engineering is a subfield of computer science that focuses on the design, implementation, and maintenance of computer networks. Systems thinking, on the other hand, is a way of thinking about and understanding complex systems, including computer networks.

10-
1. Understanding the system as a whole: Systems thinking emphasizes the importance of understanding the entire system and how its various parts interact with each other. This can help network engineers to design more effective and efficient networks that take into account the different components and how they interact.
10+
Network engineering and systems thinking are naturally aligned—both focus on understanding complex, interconnected systems. In crisis situations, this approach becomes critical:

3. Considering multiple perspectives: Systems thinking involves considering multiple perspectives when analyzing a complex system. In the context of network engineering, this might involve considering the needs and requirements of different stakeholders, such as end-users, network administrators, and IT managers.
