In this presentation you will learn about design tools and techniques to solve wicked problems, using Systems Thinking.
Systems Thinking looks at the whole of a system rather than focusing on its individual parts, to better understand complex phenomena. Systems Thinking contrasts with analytic thinking: you solve problems by going deeper, by looking at the greater whole of a system and the relations between its elements, rather than solving individual problems in a linear way via simple cause and effect explanations.
You can apply Systems Thinking principles in different situations: to understand how large organisations function and design for the enterprise (e.g. when you are trying to revamp a large intranet), but also to solve social problems and issues (e.g. unemployment with disadvantaged youth or mobility in larger cities). So basically whenever there is complexity and conflict (of interest) in your project, Systems Thinking will be helpful.
After an introduction to Systems Thinking and its core concepts, we will first explain and practice a few techniques that you as a designer can apply to better understand complex systems, for example creating a System Map and drawing Connection Circles. In the second part of the workshop, we will introduce techniques that help you shape solutions, for example using Paradoxical Thinking for ideation and writing ‘What-if’ Scenarios.
Presented at EuroIA 2015 with Koen Peters.
A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without an aim, there is no system. The aim of the system must be clear to everyone in the system.
But what does it all mean really and how does it apply to our businesses? What does it take to have a systems thinking or holistic view and approach?
In this presentation, we'll take a look at systems thinking, how we can get into this mindset and how it is used in the real world. With some interactive exercises, historical and present examples we hope this session will leave you with an understanding of systems thinking and its many benefits.
The ecological perspective is an approach to social work practice that addresses the complex transactions between people and their environment. A broad frame work that synthesizes ideas from a number of human behavior and social work practice theories, the ecological perspective offers a rich, eclectic social work knowledge and practice base.

Academic Research Impact (ARI) Ecosystem Theory: An IntroductionMichael Thompson
How do you design, plan, evaluate, and execute your research in a way that is most impactful in a connected world?
These slides provide an introduction to Academic Research Impact (ARI) Ecosystem Theory - A ecosystem-based working theory on what things to consider when thinking about Academic Research Impact Management and Maximization, predicting system to individual-level research impact behavior, planning ARI, ARI Accountability, and characterizing how ARI progresses at an individual, micro, meso, and macro-level.
Today’s Team Coaches would be well-served to create the ground conditions so that the “voice” of that team entity can be accessed.
What does the team need? What does the team want to have happen? To the extent that the coach can reveal that, the team (and its members) have a completely different access point to optimization and resilience.
In this program, we will explore some of the meta skills, competencies and tools to navigate team coaching.

Stream Analysis in Organizational Development.pptxAnonymousFQTgjf
This is invented by Prof. Jerry I. Porras of the Stanford Graduate School of Business. A new technique for managing the process of change in the organization from diagnosis to follow-up.
Methodological approach used to study and improve various processes within an organization
Involves the examination and evaluation of various processes, systems, and workflows within an organization to identify problems, inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement
Rooted on systems theory, organizations consist of sub-systems that are interconnected
Systems theory and social cognitive theory provide the conceptual foundation for stream analysis
Sequences of events or activities that take place in an organization, graphically represented as columns
Includes processes, communication flows, decision making procedures, and other inter-connected activities
Aims to understand how these streams operate and interact with each other, and how they contribute to the organization’s overall performance
Form a Change Management Team (CMT)
- A cross-sectional group of organization members to guide and monitor the change process
Collect Data
- to understand how each stream functions
- thru interviews with employees, questionnaires/surveys, direct observation, or analyzing existing data/company records (e.g. grievances, exit surveys, minutes of meetings, notice of decision, etc
3. Categorizing Problems (into Streams)
Streams denote issues or actions flowing over time
Shared understanding is a MUST among CMT
Problems are placed into columns called Streams
Identify Interconnectivity
Creating flowcharts or diagrams to visually identify relationships to identified streams
Analyzing the Problem chart
Identify Symptoms (problems caused by deeper problems)
Examining each stream’s efficiency, bottlenecks, duplication of efforts, and other issues
Formatting a plan of action
- involves reorganizing tasks/priorities, reallocating resources, implementing new technologies, organizational restructuring, changes in communication/collaboration methods, or workflow redesign
- Action plans are laid out similar to diagnostic chart but with time dimension
- some change instructions may affect more than one organization stream
- time bound but not too distant into the future
- laying out the action side by side provides rationale
Tracking the intervention process
- Continuous monitoring and evaluation are essential to gauge effectiveness
- Feedback from employees and stakeholders helps to identify further adjustments if necessary

Systems Theory Terminology – Part 1
The core of the MFT field lies in systems theory. Therefore, it is imperative that you fully grasp this major concept and the crucial elements that comprise it.
Launch in a separate window
It is important to take your time with this week’s assignment as well as those for Weeks 3 and 4. This approach will help you begin to think in a systemic way—an approach that emphasizes the nature of people being intertwined within their existence with the multiple contexts they live in.
This week’s resources introduce you to systems theory, which inspired the pioneers in the MFT field and contributed to the development of a relational understanding of human interactions. You will be asked to review resources and prepare a written summary and reflection that focus on your understanding of systems theory concepts and assumptions.
Launch in a separate window
Review the resources listed below (and previously provided resources, as needed) to prepare for this week’s assignments. The resources may include textbook reading assignments, journal articles, websites, links to tools or software, videos, handouts, rubrics, etc.
There was a tree with leave with information on it to
complete the assignment. so, I got the in information from each leaf
A system concepts
A system refers to any group of interconnected parts for examples, include families, group of people who work together, whole communities, companies, and government, organizations. The human body can even consider a system because it includes many different parts that are all interconnected. The behavior each part is affected by and has been impact on the other part.

Discussion 1
As of my experience and observations mainly there are Two key themes in contemporary information systems development there are First one is: how to build and issue systems in tinier time settings second one is: how to empower development clusters to build systems in a consistent manner. This is reflected in present days’ principal fashionable this information system development methods such as nimble, their characteristic feature being an unambiguous prominence on unremitting, appropriate proclamations and a simplification of operative cluster association and announcement. As of my experience and observations most of the software developers we reconnoitre the personal property of cluster consistency and two categories of time pressure, deterrent and challenge, on the decision-making eminence of system development clusters. The challenge time pressure and cluster consistency to have a optimistic consequence with interruption time pressure having no substantial influence.
As well working composed in a consistent cluster, petite, system development cycles mean that Software Development clusters obligation similarly work under fluctuating gradations of time pressure. Most studies in this field of information systems development and software development on time pressure measure time as a rectilinear hypothesis and enumerate it in terms of time ancient history. In this Developments I observed One of the major matters with these revisions nevertheless is that they frequently harvest contradictory consequences and as hitherto, there is no any approved and comprehensive hypothetical empathetic of the time pressure hypothesis.
In my experience, I would like to share one example, some outcomes recommend that software development clusters achieve improved under time pressure. So far others recommend that clusters accomplish improved up to a convinced argument after which presentation deteriorations, important to the generally recognized reversed-U model. It is clear that time pressure is a multipart hypothesis and while typically scrutinized as a linear hypothesis, nonlinear associations are conceivable. With a present prominence in information system development and in particular software development on clusters conclusion production in pressurized environments it is domineering that investigators endure to gain larger empathetic of the anthropological behavioural characteristic of the decision-making development. Sympathetic how clusters work composed under time pressure is a key goal in development system and its essential to entirely appreciate this complication and help comprehend accurately how and if time pressure and consistency influence of software development clusters.
Seeming Time Pressure in Teams
Time pressure is abstractly diverse from insistence. Perseverance is a unchanging peculiarity that reproduces a anxiety for time and a feeling of being recurrently pressurized In disparity, time pressure is an assessment of the task si.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
