Abstract

Purpose

Situation awareness theory is a primary mean to take decisions and actions in a dynamically changing environment. Nowadays, to implement situation awareness, theories and models in organizational scenarios have become an important research challenge. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the situation awareness theory and cybernetics. Further, the aim is to use this relationship to check the feasibility of situation awareness-based information security risk management (ISRM) implementation in the organizational scenario.

On Resilience … Problems are extracted from messes by analysis prof serious 2 hr ago 5 4 “Managers are not confronted with problems that are independent of each other, but with dynamic situations that consist of complex systems of changing problems that interact with each other. I call such situations messes. Problems are extracted from messes by analysis.” (Russell Ackoff) We have, over the last two years, confronted our lack of societal resilience. The last few weeks, with challenges in food and energy supply, have again brought this to the fore. There has been ample comment on each of these issues and I will not, you should be pleased to hear, add to it. Rather, I would like to stand back and suggest we need a different approach to thinking about resilience. I apologise that this is, necessarily, a somewhat technical discussion (prof serious, after all).

Free Webinar Introduction to System Dynamics Modeling October 20, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm NY Time (time converter)In this seminar, you will be able to build your own System Dynamics model! This will be a small, quantitative model of the classic apartment vacancy/build cycle. Read the problem statement.You will take your first steps with Studio and learn how to use it for quantitative modeling. We will focus on the System Dynamics model construction process and how we think about quality in System Dynamics’ models. In this seminar you will be engaged in hands-on modeling and interaction.In this webinar, you will: • Build a small, quantitative System Dynamics model • Use Studio by Powersim Software for very basic quantitative modeling • Become familiar with the System Dynamics modeling process • Learn how System Dynamics can be used for policy developmentSign UpMeet our Instructor Len Malczynski is a System Dynamics practitioner, micro-economist, and software engineer. He has built models for several industries. He was a member of the Office of the Chief Economist at Sandia National Laboratories and currently teaches at the University of New Mexico.Sponsored by This seminar is sponsored by Powersim Software, the developers of Studio Simulation Software. Due to their generous sponsorship, this seminar will be open to the public and free of charge.

Power & Systems w/ Barry Oshry Description “I’ve invited Barry to join us in a conversation about power and systems.  Barry’s book’ Seeing systems’ has had a big influence on the thinking of many in our learning community, and with over 50 years of experience in the human systems space, we are excited to learn from the perspectives Barry holds.  We invite folks from this community to bring their curiosity for the kind of beautifully spontaneous Q&A that we hold at the Stoa – a conversation of relevance to the world we find ourselves in today” – Naryan Wong More from Barry: https://powerandsystems.com thestoa.ca patreon.com/the_stoa thestoa.substack.com Time Nov 4, 2021 04:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Meeting Registration – Zoom

This is actually amazing. Barry is pretty firmly retired so it’s an even greater ‘get’ – make it if you can because he might not show up in public again very often!

Complexity studies course: thinking skills for wicked problems

12 OCTOBER 2021 | STORY HELEN SWINGLER. PHOTOGETTY IMAGES. Read time 8 min.

The University of Cape Town’s (UCT) Centre for Extra-Mural Studies (EMS) has launched a certified online postgraduate course that not only teaches integrated systems sciences, but also applies this learning to the context of its delivery. The course, Applied Complexity Science, also incorporates elements of artificial intelligence (AI) in its content and cutting-edge design.

The self-learning course is convened by Dr Fuad Udemans, who has a PhD in Complexity Science from the UCT Graduate School of Business (UCT GSB). The cutting-edge course presents a new way of learning and is part of the innovation culture linked to UCT’s Vision 2030 and its mission of unleashing human potential.

ELLIOTT JAQUES AND SENSEMAKING : ULTIMATE SENSEMAKER OR 20TH CENTURY RELIC? Groenewald, Henry James (2012-03)

Elliott Jaques and sensemaking : ultimate sensemaker or 20th century relic?

Yes.

ELLIOTT JAQUES AND SENSEMAKING : ULTIMATE SENSEMAKER OR 20TH CENTURY RELIC?

Groenewald, Henry James (2012-03)Thesis (MPhil)–Stellenbosch University, 2012.

THESIS

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The thesis considers the work of Elliot Jaques through the most recent interpretivist views of organizations and management. As it stands, Jaques does not form part of mainstream management thinking. Jaques is primarily known in organization and management theory for Stratified Systems Theory through his book Requisite Organization. Although undoubtedly influential, his views are generally considered to be either outdated or highly contentious. This assessment is mostly based on his book Requisite Organization. However, Jaques’ work spans fifty years of research in management science and the thesis explores his entire body of work with a view to understanding the research that Requisite Organization is founded upon. It explains Jaques’ divergence from the current determinisms that dominate our current milieu and links his work in Levels of Abstraction in Logic and Human Action with Maturana and Varella’s concept of autopoiesis and Weick’s theory of Organizational Sensemaking. It is shown how the roots of Requisite Organization seeks to address similar concerns to that of Organizational Sensemaking. In conclusion various aspects of Jaques work are mapped to aspects of Weick’s work, which at first glance would have seemed incompatible. It is argued that, if considered as a whole, Jaques’ theory resonates with much more modern understandings of organization and management theory than is widely assumed.

From Paul Pangaro:

I’m delighted to invite you to a conversation about BCE Scott’s wonderful new book, with the author present, hosted by the publisher, who has kindly invited me and others to celebrate this valuable new work.

Los límites del pensamiento sistémico (I) Antoni Oliva 16 hours ago·4 min read LOS ORÍGENES bernardobagulho.com La historia de la adquisición de conocimiento (el qué y el cómo se conoce) se puede caracterizar por un vaivén entre epistemologías reduccionistas y holísticas, según si ponen el foco de atención en las partes o en el todo. Este vaivén se traduce en un modelo predominante que no excluye definitivamente al otro y en un posicionamiento de actores y procesos sociales alrededor de él.
