In today’s post I am pondering the question – as a regulator, should you be going towards or away from a target? Are the two things the same? I will use Erik Hollnagel’s ideas here. Hollnagel is a Professor Emeritus at Linköping University who has a lot of work in Safety Management. Hollnagel challenges the main theme of safety management as getting to zero accidents. He notes:
The goal of safety management is obviously to improve safety. But for this to be attainable it must be expressed in operational terms, i.e., there must be a set of criteria that can be used to determine when the goal has been reached… the purpose of an SMS is to bring about a significant reduction – or even the absence – of risk, which means that the goal is to avoid or get away from something. An increase in safety will therefore correspond…

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).

Introduction to Modeling – System Dynamics Society
| 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 Up  Meet our InstructorLen 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 byThis 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)

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!

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.
