November Meeting (27 October 2008)
The INCOSE Enchantment Chapter will hold its November meeting on November 12, 2008 at 4:30 PM. Please join us for Dr. Boardman's presentation on "Systems
Thinking: Coping with 21st Century Problems."
ABSTRACT: General Systems Theory gave us a framework of concepts with which to analyze various specific systems in a variety of domains in
the abstract sense. This helped our understanding of those domains and gave us confidence to intervene appropriately. However, our world today - be it
hot flat and crowded (Tom Friedman), or curved (David M Smick), presents us with systems and phenomena replete in emergence, non-linearity,
interdependency, paradox, and complexity. It is not so much that systems have become more complicated, which they undoubtedly have, but that they
exhibit behaviors that are so startlingly unpredictable, counter-intuitive and unmanageable such that the very notion of intervention, let alone
optimization, is not of primary concern. The topic of paramount consideration in systems thinking today is the nature of togetherness,
getting at the very essence of what makes a system a system. This talk will seek to add new concepts and tools to our systems thinking repertoire that
may enable us, together, to scale this new frontier.
SPEAKER: Dr. John Boardman is Distinguished Service Professor in the School of Systems and Enterprises, Stevens Institute of Technology; and
a Fellow of INCOSE. Systems Thinking and Extended Enterprises are two graduate course he teaches as part of the 4-course Agile Systems and
Enterprises Certificate. Dr. Boardman is co-author of the recently released Systems Thinking: Coping with 21st Century Problems. For more information
about Dr. Boardman visit his profile at the Stevens website.
