Practical Application of Systems Thinking to Enterprise Design
Organisations are “social activity systems”. People come together and create a system to produce products and services for other people to benefit from, either for the purposes of financial and/or social gain. This talk is about how we design these systems and on the discipline of Business Architecture and Target Operating Model design, or what is often today referred to as “Enterprise Design”...

Causation seen through a Sociotechnical Lens
Root cause analysis, sometimes known as the 5 Whys, has been seen as a panacea or as a failure depending on how it’s used. One frequent problem with root cause analysis is that it is used to support a blame culture. Once we’ve found the person at the root of the problem (the one that made the ‘mistake’) and know who to blame we can proceed with a clear conscience. However, taking a look at a...

Systemic evaluation in an uncertain world
Evaluation is… "a way of thinking (and acting) that will not only aid your effectiveness, but also improve your capacity to make good decisions in your ordinary life" (based on Wadsworth, 2011). Why bother about 'evaluation'? Many of us are familiar with evaluation as a tool used in public policy to assess policies, programmes, projects and other interventions.

Viability beyond survival
Viability beyond survival In deze sessie zal Jan samen met de deelnemers stilstaan bij vier vragen. (1) Is ‘survival’ het algemene doel van organisaties? Deze vraag is relevant, want ze stelt het waarom van organisaties ter discussie (of dat nu profit, not-for-profit of overheidsorganisaties zijn). Meestal wordt op de vraag naar het algemene doel van organisaties als antwoord gegeven: ‘survival’...

Natural science approach to studying the emergent organization of systems
The talk will be in two sections, the first on the emerging organization of systems as they grow. The second will be on ways of a) leaving them alone or b) helping them steer. So far, science has given less attention to how nature works by itself, giving much more to how people can make rules for controlling it, and that seems to be a principal reason for our current global crisis. Part 1. The...

How visual representation of Informal Networks can help people in organisations address wicked problems
This session presents how the reality of informal networks within organisations and across collaborating entities can be presented visually. Also, using case study material, how these dynamic maps are able to generate insights that enable groups and teams to overcome challenges and realise opportunities that hitherto would be invisible to them. We hope this session will stimulate an interesting...

A Systems Approach to Investigation and Problem Solving
The terms ‘Accident’ and ‘Incident’, while in general accepted usage, are not helpful to professional in-company investigators. The proposition is that it is more useful to consider such events as failures of ‘Human Activity Systems’. This methodology, Kelvin TOP-SET, was initially developed to give offshore oil managers a means of investigation that was relatively easy to learn and apply...
