The document discusses the use of Viable Systems Modelling (VSM) to analyze management systems and identify areas for improvement. It applies the VSM approach to model the student application, enrollment, and registration processes at an educational institution. The models show how each process is currently managed and highlight communications and control issues. Key recommendations include developing a fully online enrollment system that automatically populates core student data across information sub-systems and eliminating manual transcription of application information. In conclusion, the VSM models provide representations of current practice to inform discussions about improving management systems during a period of institutional merger.
