This document discusses systems thinking principles and mental models. It notes that mental models influence behavior and outcomes in organizations. Changing mental models requires identifying existing models, comparing them to desirable models, defining new behaviors, and establishing metrics. Stereotypes form from selective experiences that are generalized to entire groups. Algorithmic newsfeeds can also shape perceptions by selecting content to maximize engagement. Any action in an organization will initiate a compensating process that counteracts the initial change, like diversity efforts facing backlash. Systems thinking examines causal loops and how to address compensating loops through informed action.

A 'Good to Great' presentation reminding us that attitude means the difference between success and "OUTSTANDING" ! :) Thanks Kim for a great presentation.
Rapidly changing marketplaces, intense competition, the stress of constantly having to do more with less, and the aftermath of mergers and acquisitions test the resilience of organizations.
A resilient workforce has superior performance, higher productivity and creativity, better health, and more financial success.
Organizational drivers of resilience include: managing workload, offering access to training and development, giving employees more control over their work, developing effective managers, and fostering work-life integration.
The Magic Feedback Ratio - Dr. John Gottman 5 to 1Alex Clapson
The Magic Ratio of Positive & Negative Feedback.
As Supervisors & Managers, we always want to help our teams to improve by giving help & advice. However, the way we give feedback can actually have the opposite effect.
According to Nobel Prize-winning scientist Daniel Kahneman, humans experience approximately 20,000 moments everyday, defined as a few seconds which our brain records as an experience. Scientists have proposed that our brains keep track of positive & negative moments & that a running tally in our
mind determines our overall mood.

This working paper brings elements from the economic complexity literature to the discussions of the structuralist tradition on the central role of manufacturing and productive sophistication to economic growth. Using data provided by the Atlas of Economic Complexity this study sought to verify if countries’ complexity is important to explain convergence and divergence among poor and rich countries and, if so, which are the countries that will be able to reduce the income gap compared to developed countries. The econometric analysis revealed that exports and production complexity is significant to explain convergence and divergence among countries.

Relationship Awareness Theory is a self-learning model for effectively and accurately understanding and inferring the motive behind the behavior.
Relationship Awareness® gives organizations and individuals the awareness and skills they need to build more effective personal and professional relationships.
It helps them to sustain those relationships through understanding the underlying Motivational Value Systems™ of themselves and others under two conditions:
When things are going well
During conflict
The theory helps people to recognize that they can choose their behaviors to accommodate their underlying values, while also taking into account the values of others.
It is a dynamic and powerful way of looking at human relationships that aids in building communication, trust, empathy, and effective, productive relationships.
The Theory (and the psychometric tests which are based on it) were developed by psychologist, clinical therapist, educator, and author Elias H. Porter, Ph.D.

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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science.

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

2. Principles - Systems Thinking
1. “You can have your cake and eat it too – But not all at once.”
Senge
2. “The easiest way out will lead back in.” Senge
3. “Behavior will grow worse before it grows better.” Senge
4. “We cannot solve our problems at the same mental level at
which we created them.” Einstein
5. “Move from the tyranny of the OR to the synergy of the
AND….” Collins & Porras

Mental Models and Loops
3. Mental Models
1. “Although people do not always behave congruently
with their espoused theories (what they say) they do
behave congruently with their theories-in-use (mental
models).”
~ Chris Argyris, Harvard
3
Credibility is directly proportional
to demonstrated compliance with values
4. Remember about Mental Models
1. We all have various mental models and for most of us they are
unquestioned and unexamined objectively. We have a lot of
emotional baggage associated with them and strong links to our
egos and so feel very vulnerable when invited to question them.
2. Mental models we are aware of and question are beneficial to
us. Mental models we are not aware of, enslave us.
4
Our mental models incline us towards
or away from people, ideas or things
5. 4 – Steps to change Mental Models
Intervention:
1. Identify and articulate existing mental models
2. Map them with desirable mental models
3. Define behaviors which reflect the new mental models
4. Put metrics on them to monitor performance
5
You can only guarantee what you can control
You can only control what you can measure
6. Formation of Stereotypes
Something happens to me involving another
individual
1. I like or dislike what happened
2. I form an opinion about that individual
3. I then apply that opinion to all individuals of that group
6
Selective perception feeds the negative cycle
7. Formation of Stereotypes
I don’t ask myself the critical questions:
1. How representative of the group was that individual?
2. Is it fair to that group to take an experience in isolation
and form an opinion about the whole group, the majority
of whom I have never met or interacted with?
3. What does this do to my own ability to influence, build
teams, understand and lead others?
Serious implications on career development
8. Formation of Stereotypes
1. The problem with this is that our behavior with others is
based on our mental models about them
2. We then get responses from them which by means of
selective perception, we use to ‘confirm’ our original
opinion of them
3. We never get to meet real people – only mental models
This is a vicious cycle
9. AI – Algorithmic perception
1. The Newsfeed algorithm is a super-optimized gratification
machine, observing what types of content you enjoy, and
then curating that content for maximum user engagement,
regardless of whether that content is true or false.
2. This algorithm distorts the conversation in an invisible,
insidious way. News stories are shown to those who are
likely to like or re-share them. Users are shielded from
stories the algorithm determines they won't enjoy.
10. Questions
1. How does this affect our interactions in society?
2. How does it affect the way we see others?
3. How does it affect our ability to influence change, our
leadership styles and success, ability to work with others,
building teams, career progress, social interactions, security
and safety, discrimination, openness, transparency, trust
and friendship?
This is not an exhaustive list
11. Theory of Loops
Any organizational process automatically initiates a
compensating process which will neutralize its effect

1. Causal Loop: No women, promote diversity, hire women
2. Compensating Loop:
“There are too many women. They are taking over this place.
This is becoming a kitchen cabinet.” …and so on.
3. Gradually creates hostility for women and they leave.
4. Extreme cases: discrimination against women

Ironic: hired because they were considered valuable

15. Exercise
1. Identify the Causal & Compensating Loops in your life
2. What must you do to neutralize the Compensating
Loops?
3. What do you need in order to succeed?
Good intentions are not sufficient to achieve results
Results depend on informed intelligent action
