9. The Why, What and How of KoBold
February 2016

10. WHY - Even Great Organisations Get it Wrong
 Donald Douglas founded the Douglas Aircraft Company on July 22, 1921.
 The company was highly successful and is most famous for the "DC"
("Douglas Commercial") series of commercial aircraft, including the
Douglas DC-3.
 In 1967 the company was forced to merge with McDonnell to form
McDonnell Douglas Corp. The merger was the result of Douglas’s
ongoing determination to evolve the DC4 aircraft and his failure to
understand early on the implication of the jet engine.
On Design
“When the weight of the paper equals the
weight of the airplane, only then you can
go flying”
On Vision
"Dream no small dream; it lacks magic.
Dream large. Then make the dream real.”

11. WHY - Douglas Faced Two Issues
 He was responsible for a large organisation similar to other organisations
in Defence, Mining, Rail, Airlines, Tollways that are dependent on complex
infrastructure and platforms to deliver their business purpose.
 This responsibility required that he address two separate needs:
What was the best
organisational form to deliver
his company’s purpose and
Vision in a changing competitive
environment?
How should infrastructure and
product lifecycles be managed to
best deliver the company’s
purpose?
Are we doing it right Are we doing the right thing X

12. WHAT – THE KOBOLD PURPOSE
Provide managers of complex programs and systems in Defence,
Government and Industry with high quality Professional
Business and Technical Services to support:
 a SYSTEMS THINKING approach to the organisation, its
environment and its products and services; and
 a SYSTEMS ENGINEERING approach to the acquisition and
management of infrastructure and platforms
In a manner that identifies and realises the best outcome for the
client.

13. HOW – ORGANISATION AND SYSTEMS THINKING
Determining the organisational form to best deliver an
infrastructure and platform intensive companies purpose and
Vision is best done by taking a Systems Thinking approach.
Stafford Beer leveraged
cybernetics, and in particular,
the Law of Requisite Variety, to
develop an organisational model
that describes the necessary
components of system for it to
maintain its viability.
He described this as the Viable
System Model (VSM).
System 5: Ultimate
authority, governance,
identity
System 4: Forward planning,
strategy, innovation
System 3: Internal
regulation, optimization,
synergy
System 2: Communication,
conflict resolution,
stabilisation
System 1: Primary
activities, operation, project
teams, quasi-autonomous

14. HOW – PLATFORM AND INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT USING
SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
Determining how the
infrastructure and platforms
should be acquired,
supported and withdrawn in
the business requires a
systems engineering
approach
