Complex Systems podcast (and articles): How banks actually work (and don’t work) – Patrick McKenzie
[I share this podcast quite often – it’s really excellent for talking about no theory but the practice of actual complex ‘systems’ in the world. Here, how technology and bureaucracy, under legislation and commercial pressures, try to deal with the messy reality – of banking, a relatively ‘tractable’ subject!]
Patrick reads his classic essay explaining why banks seem to have no memory of previous customer interactions despite being excellent at tracking money itself.

| Hellenic Society for Systemic Studies (HSSS) 21th On-Line HSSS National & International Conference in collaboration with University of Peloponnese, Department of Management Science and Technology ASA-HAC (Association of administrative scientists-Hellenic Administrative Chamber) 08 – 11, October 2025. Tripoli, Greece https://confe.hsss.eu Systemic Human Resources Management and New TechnologiesCall for AbstractsExtension of Abstract Submission: 31st of August, 2025 We would like to invite you to submit your Abstract though the https://confe.hsss.eu/abstract-submission-2/ with no fees. This Conference is a great opportunity for system specialists from Europe and the rest of the world to meet and emulate each other in order to decompartmentalise the specialist approaches of the different disciplines. Combining theoretical, methodological and practical approaches, systems thinking contributes to the construction of synergies between different disciplines, thus encouraging the development of theoretical models, modelling and decision-making methods, and practical tools at the service of society. As our Annual Conference is highly googled, we offer the opportunity to present your work and through the Digital Poster Session give the possibility to people see your word, after the Conference, for a long period of time. Also, we give you the chance to submit your full paper to the IJASS (International Journal of Applied Systemic Studies). We shall accept your abstract until 31st of August, 2025 .Yours sincerely, Professor Nikitas Assimakopoulos, HSSS President. |
