Introduction

It is my hope that this blog will serve as a premiere place to learn and discover concepts in systems thinking. Many learn how to accomplish tasks or solve problems from only a single functional perspective. Many problems relating to integration issues, obsolescence, and rework result from this. My hope is to teach others how to avoid these pitfalls.

Topics that I want to engage in:

  • Mainstream systems engineering - Which methods work well
  • Enterprise architecture - What is it, and how can I effectively apply it?
  • Other disciplines that are absent in mainstream systems thinking - What lessons can we learn from them?
  • Applying system thinking in new and innovative ways
