Organic Problems, Mechanical Solutions
- 1. [something to do with complexity] Tobias Mayer — Agile Cymru, 7-8 July 2015
- 2. System 1. a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole 2. a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done Ref: Oxford Dictionary
- 3. Over to You What is Not a System?
- 4. There are Essentially Two Types of System 1. Mechanical 2. Organic
- 5. Mechanical Systems
- 6. Mechanical Systems
- 7. Mechanical Systems
- 8. Mechanical Systems
- 9. Mechanical Systems
- 10. Organic Systems
- 11. Organic Systems
- 12. Organic Systems
- 13. Organic Systems
- 14. Organic Systems
- 15. Discernible Transparent Objective Has finite elements Known end state Deterministic Encourages statements of truth “If this, then that” Mechanical System
- 16. Complex Opaque Subjective Has non-finite elements Unknown end-state Nondeterministic Encourages questions and observations “If this, then what?” Organic System
- 17. Characteristics of System Types Mechanical Organic Discernible Transparent Objective Has finite elements Known end state Deterministic Encourage statements of truth — “If this, then that” Complex Opaque Subjective Has non-finite elements Unknown end-state Nondeterministic Encourages questions and observations — “If this, then what?”
- 18. Over to You Identify and categorize systems in your workplace
- 19. So what if we want to a System? CHANGEINFLUENCE
- 20. So what if we want to a System? CHANGEINFLUENCEMANIPULATECONTROLMANAGE !
- 21. Discernible Transparent Objective Has finite elements Known end state Deterministic Encourages statements of truth Mechanical System Benefits from control Responds to commanding leadership Requires Experts
- 22. Complex Opaque Subjective Has non-finite elements Unknown end-state Nondeterministic Encourages questions and observations Organic System Responds to guidance and nurturing Benefits from release Requires artisans
- 23. Characteristics of System Types Mechanical Organic Discernible Transparent Objective Has finite elements Known end state Deterministic Statements of truth “if this, then that” Requires experts Benefits from control Responds to commanding leadership Complex Opaque Subjective Has non-finite elements Unknown end-state Nondeterministic Questions and observations “if this, then what?” Requires artisans Benefits from release Responds to guidance and nurturing
- 24. Over to You Are you managing organic systems mechanically?
- 25. Organic Systems are Complex Always
- 26. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple… and wrong. — H.L. Mencken
- 27. We accept this…
- 28. But what about this…
- 29. Or this…
- 30. Complex Problem Dreaming Fractality Experimentation Oscillation Nurturing Complexity
- 31. Requirements Definition Division of Labor Work Breakdown Accumulation Complex Problem In contrast…
- 32. Requirements Definition Division of Labor Work Breakdown Accumulation In contrast…
- 33. Complex Problem Dreaming Fractality Experimentation Oscillation Nurturing Complexity
- 34. Complex Problem Dreaming Fractality Experimentation Oscillation Juggling Complexity

- 36. Complex Problem Dreaming Fractality Experimentation Oscillation Juggling Complexity
- 37. Over to You Pick one of those ideas and explore in your context
- 38. Let go of your old ideas — even the good ones
