  • Toward a Common Language for Systems
    IFSR Conversation– April 2012 Sponsored by the International Federation for Systems Research (IFSR) Team 4: Towards a Common Language for Systems Praxis © 2012 IFSR unless otherwise indicated (reprinted with permission) James Martin (USA), [email protected] (Team Leader) Johan Bendz (SE), [email protected] Gerhard Chroust (AUT), [email protected] Duane Hybertson (USA), [email protected] Harold “Bud” Lawson (SE), [email protected] Richard Martin (USA), [email protected] Hillary Sillitto (UK), [email protected] Janet Singer (USA), [email protected] Michael Singer (USA), [email protected] Tatsumasa Takaku (JP), [email protected] Abstract: We explored developing “common language for systems praxis” to help systems theorists and systems practitioners deal with the major cross-discipline, cross-domain problems facing human society in the 21st Century. For the first three days, we explored a broad range of issues, from previous efforts at standardization; to the nature of language, culture, and praxis; to the relationship between systems science, systems thinking, and systems approaches to practice. On day 4, we used Checkland’s CATWOE approach to understand the usage, context, and constraints for any common language for systems praxis. On day 5, this checklist helped us develop a diagram showing how an integrated approach to Systems Praxis could put theories from Systems Science and Systems Thinking into action through technical Systems Engineering and social Systems Intervention. We learned that the best medium for communication across different ‘tribes’ is patterns, and that a common language for systems praxis could use system patterns and praxis patterns to relate core concepts, principles, and paradigms, allowing stakeholder ‘silos’ to more effectively work together.

    Listen! (A Tribute to the Listen Inn, Shaftesbury, Dorset, UK) Ranulph Glanville Independent Academic, CybernEthics Research, 52 Lawrence Road, Southsea, Hants PO5 1NY, UK: tel +44 (0) 23 9273 7779; fax +44 (0) 23 9276 7779; email [email protected] Text 1 “Beuys’ primary requirement for true communication was the existence of a reciprocal relationship between individuals. ‘For communication it’s necessary that there be someone who listens…There’s no sense in a transmitter if there’s noone who receives.’” Panel entitled “Communication” at the Joseph Beuys Exhibition, Royal Kilmainham Hospital, Dublin, read on June 2nd 1999. Abstract The argument is presented that, for participation and connectedness to be possible, we need to learn to listen, and to value listening, rather than being “given our voice”. Some benefits of listening are presented: as are side effects, which reflect qualities often thought of as being among the most desirable human qualities. Finally, examples of a demonstration and a workshop presented at the conference, concerned with developing listening skills, are introduced. Text 2 “Academics study precisely those areas in which they are least personally competent.” Academic Sod’s Law, Ranulph Glanville. Preamble The pianist enters the auditorium, and sits at the piano. The murmur in the audience subsides. He opens the keyboard and sits still for four and a half minutes. During this time, he makes no sound, plays no notes. At the end of this time, he gets up, takes his bow, and leaves. He has been performing John Cage’s piece, 4'32". (See Cage’s 1966 book, Silence.) You are in a community where no one will respond to anything you say, and no one will talk to you.

  • Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better: the Cybernetics in Design and the Design in Cybernetics
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/0368-492X.htm Try again. Try again. Fail again. Fail better: Fail again. the cybernetics in design and the Fail better design in cybernetics Ranulph Glanville 1173 The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, London, UK, and CybernEthics Research, Southsea, UK Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the two subjects, cybernetics and design, in order to establish and demonstrate a relationship between them. It is held that the two subjects can be considered complementary arms of each other. Design/methodology/approach – The two subjects are each characterised so that the author’s interpretation is explicit and those who know one subject but not the other are briefed. Cybernetics is examined in terms of both classical (first-order) cybernetics, and the more consistent second-order cybernetics, which is the cybernetics used in this argument. The paper develops by a comparative analysis of the two subjects, and exploring analogies between the two at several levels. Findings – A design approach is characterised and validated, and contrasted with a scientific approach. The analogies that are proposed are shown to hold. Cybernetics is presented as theory for design, design as cybernetics in practice. Consequent findings, for instance that both cybernetics and design imply the same ethical qualities, are presented. Research limitations/implications – The research implications of the paper are that, where research involves design, the criteria against which it can be judged are far more Popperian than might be imagined. Such research will satisfy the condition of adequacy, rather than correctness.

  • Manifesto for General Systems Transdisciplinarity (GSTD)
    Manifesto for General Systems Transdisciplinarity (GSTD) Dr David Rousseau, Centre for Systems Philosophy, UK Dr Jennifer Wilby, Centre for Systems Studies, University of Hull, UK Julie Billingham, Centre for Systems Philosophy, UK Stefan Blachfellner, Bertalanffy Centre for the Study of the Systems Sciences, Austria The ISSS was founded on an ambition to develop a systems transdiscipline, grounded in a General System Theory (GST), which could be leveraged to build a systemically healthy world that promotes personal dignity, human welfare, international cooperation and environmental stewardship. The ISSS pioneers saw this as an urgently needed response to looming human, social and environmental crises, which at least in part coincide with what we recognise today as the Anthropocene. This ambition and call to action remain as inspiring and pertinent today as they were when the ISSS was founded in 1956 as the Society for the Advancement of General Systems Theory. The crises anticipated by our founders are now upon us, making the founders’ vision and call to action more pertinent than ever. Over the last two years ISSS members David Rousseau, Jennifer Wilby, Julie Billingham and Stefan Blachfellner have been investigating the possibility of accelerating progress towards a General Systems Transdiscipline (GSTD). This was done by working with: • contributors to the ISSS’s SIG on Systems Philosophy and SIG on Research towards a General Theory of Systems in 2013 and 2014, • participants in a special Symposium of the 2014 European Meetings on Cybernetics and Systems Research (EMCSR), • participants in a special 2014 Conversation of the International Federation of Systems Research (IFSR), and • attendees of a 2015 Workshop of the Systems Science Working Group (SysSciWG) of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE).

  • Critical Health Systems Thinking
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL HEALTH SYSTEMS THINKING: THE NEED FOR A MORE CRITICAL APPROACH being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Luis Gomes Sambo MD, Universidade Agostinho Neto, Angola and Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal Specialist in Public Health, Angolan Medical Post-Graduation College and Portuguese Medical Association Date: April 27, 2009 Abstract The present study intends to bring more insights and added value to Health Systems Thinking using systems ideas. It inquires about the current state of Health Systems Thinking, analyses different strengths of alternative systems approaches, and suggests what systems thinking can offer in order to improve the current understanding and the technical performance of Health Systems. It does not intend to develop a blue print model but rather a more critical approach to deal with some of the intractable problems encountered in current health sector reforms. The thesis is not expected to serve public health practitioners only but also systems thinking theorists, particularly those interested in social systems and pluralism in management sciences. Specifically, this thesis aims at analysing the current state of Health Systems Thinking; explores what other systems approaches can offer to enlighten health systems; and yields knowledge on Critical Health Systems Thinking. To achieve these aims the researcher articulated the study on the basis of the definition of health by the World Health Organisation, the interconnectedness among key health determinants and the global health challenges with particular emphasis in Sub-Saharan Africa. Critical Systems Thinking is the theoretical framework in which knowledge about systems is expressed and the current state of Health Systems Thinking is the area of concern in relation to which the researcher has aspirations.

  • Dubberly & Pangaro, “Cybernetics and Design: Conversations for Action”
    Chapter 3 Cybernetics and Design: Conversations for Action Hugh Dubberly and Paul Pangaro Abstract Ranulph Glanville came to believe that cybernetics and design are two sides of the same coin. The authors present their understanding of Glanville and the relationships they see between cybernetics and design. They argue that cyber- netics is a necessary foundation for 21st century design practice: If design, then systems: Due in part to the rise of computing technology and its role in human communications, the domain of design has expanded from giving form to creating systems that support human interactions; thus, systems literacy becomes a neces- sary foundation for design. If systems, then cybernetics: Interaction involves goals, feedback, and learning, the science of which is cybernetics. If cybernetics, then second-order cybernetics: Framing wicked problems requires making explicit one’s values and viewpoints, accompanied by the responsibility to justify them with ex- plicit arguments; this incorporates subjectivity and the epistemology of second-order cybernetics. If second-order cybernetics, then conversation: Design grounded in ar- gumentation requires conversations so that participants may understand, agree, and collaborate on effective action – that is, participants in a design conversation learn together in order to act together. The authors see cybernetics as a way of framing both the process of designing and the things being designed – both means and ends – not only design-as-conversation but also design-for-conversation. Second-order cybernetics frames design as conversation, and they explicitly frame “second-order design” as creating possibilities for others to have conversations.
