"How do you take a system as a whole and then approach change?"
If this is taken as though you are outside of, not an integral part
of, that system, then the advice will not be useful.
How you take a system as a whole and approach change is be the
system, recognise you are in and of the system, express yourself in
the system. And change yourself first - in the direction of expected
change - if you are expecting the system to change.
At least that's my perspective.
