I would like to see a presentation on your perspective of UAF, the official successor to DoDAF, MoDAF, NAF, etc. Secondly, technology has made even the simplest system overly complex, especially if there is cybersecurity involved. Lastly, SoS is a reality making good SEM execution nearly impossible. Thanks for your insightful presentation.

Great presentation, looking fwd to the next one

POSIWID of SE at the end is a cracker 😅 it’s funny I learnt systems practice through the open university it had a lot to do with perspective, understanding, and determining feasible iterative interventions. Even when working on low level applications or equipment it was always from the perspective of this thing interacting with adjacent things for some purpose of the meta system. Purpose to me only makes sense when viewed externally from the meta system. This always allowed me to be innovative and also communicate development problems or misunderstandings in terms of the meta system domain language. So I’d argue even during development I was still doing the understanding the problems of customer and developers and mediating/facilitating feasible and desirable solutions. Sometimes this meant explaining why the customers understanding itself was incorrect, in a hospitable and collaborative manner. There is very little out there that takes this stance of SE

he refers to a quote - I believe this is what he was referring to- actual quote and some variants of it: "There is always a well-known solution to every human problem-neat, plausible, and wrong." (H. L. Mencken, "The Divine Afflatus," 1917)​ (Quote Investigator)​​ (WIST)​. Variant with "easy solution": "There is always an easy solution to every human problem-neat, plausible, and wrong." (Attributed to H. L. Mencken in various sources, including Walter Winchell's columns in 1949)​ (Quote Investigator)​. Variant with "simple, obvious": "For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, obvious, and wrong." (Appeared in Reason magazine, 1983)​ (Quote Investigator)​. Variant with "simple, direct, plausible": "Every complex problem has a solution which is simple, direct, plausible-and wrong." (Attributed to H. L. Mencken in a 1992 column by W. Gifford-Jones)​ (Quote Investigator)​.

Good stuff! Although suggest setting playback speed at 1.5x.

Is Lanlink still supported.

WoW WOW THIS IS DEEP STUFF

I came here to learn systems engineering and got scared away. i don't know if that was your intention.

Thank you for putting this together and sharing.

thank you dr kasser

golden channel.

Loved this format of QA. Please do more of these. I haven’t watched the full video yet but 14:38 seems to be the wrong question to ask. But since the title of the video is about misunderstandings, I think it is intentional. I should still add this I think - Analytical Thinking looks towards subsystems hierarchy to look for an atom that can help explain all of the emergent phenomena above it - so they start by taking subsystems, understanding them and their interactions to explain the emergent behaviour or behaviour of containing system or the system of interest. Opposite of it, as per Ackoff is Synthetic Thinking which looks at super systems (instead to subsystems) and the role of the system in those super systems (instead role of subsystems in systems in analytical thinking) to explain the behaviour of system of interest. Systems Thinking is a combination of both = Analytical + Synthetic, as per Ackoff given the objective of stakeholder of the system (or the observer) is to understand the behaviour of the system. He said this after mentioning that key to problem solving is understanding the system. He then goes on to explain how, like Lateral Thinking (Edward de Bono) Systems Approach would be not just looking up or down the hierarchy but also around the system. Yet to read his and your books.

main part roughly starts at 07:35

I think the requirements for being able to attend your course are unfair.

A wise man once said "People are individually stupid and collectively much more so".

Frequently Recurring Structures, Selecting a few nodes and edges to see the local story and how an interaction of local stories creates an emergent global story - all of these ideas I'll keep in mind to make better systems thinking tools in the future. I can see them coming to life (and better when implemented with statecharts and actor model) with some tricks from graph theory. This whole channel is pure gold. Can't thank enough.

sounds very useless

Wow this is good.I'm studying Systems Thinking and related branches like Systems Understanding and Systems Engineering on my own ever since I watched Russell Ackoff on my feed randomly. Systems Science is definitely a treasure that nobody's talking about, and my domain (engineering) can benefit a lot from its concepts. I'll email you to get the books. Thanks.

Thank you dr.Joseph Kasser, that was really informative and useful.

... as a German Biologist - 10 000 Years ago we developed Domestication genetic Engineering in the vastest sense we gradually swept out of the Bio Sphere All War fare is polluting and destruction of the Bio Sphere a geno cide - killing young STRONG able men... now we are in a hyper complex synthetic techno Sphere that is a Social wear Zone nobody left we can trust after “god is dead” - Nietzsche...... Philospher with Neuro Syphilis... we are like Exo Planets - neither in the Bio Sphere nor in the Techno Sphere we are hyper vulnerable like never before Totally dependent like any Drug addict The extinction Event will tsunami away all those dependents and some natural tribes in remote areas may survive Advancing the Techno Sphere is the Extinction of the Biosphere... some Tesla Machines may go on without us... Brave New World... ...Behavioral Sink - Calhoun

You are genius unrecognized 😊

I just sent a request to join your Facebook page. How I can send you an email to request the material? Thank you for sharing!

I am so happy that I found this one. This explained exactly all the confusion in SE domain I observed and make perfect sense!

😕 *Promo SM*

U never gave the answers to the operational and generic thinking tests that u gave "WHERE'S THE COFFE"

In my opinion respectfully I think you are under the dilema you mentioned about the elephant. You are seeing only one part of the elephant. I think I can see other I will use Systems thinking and specifically life cycle to try to explain questions 5 and 6 The sabbath was sacred before Jesuschrist. Jesus Christ came and instituted the Sunday as the day to rest . We can say that there was a life cycle before Jesuschrist (Concept, Development, Production, Utilization, Support, and Retirement) With Jesuschrist being born, he “retired” the previous system. He closed the last phase of that life cycle. Therefore new rules (because of new Mesiah). After Jesuschrist being born, there is a new life cycle that started 2023 years ago, and that is now I think we are in the “utilization” phase. That is the SE perspective. From the theological perspective and always respectfully. This coming from Christian Catholic priests. The rules of the Old Testament were so strict that no one could follow 600 plus “commandments” . Pharisees were a good example that wanted to impose these rules onto people but they could not follow them.

I appreciate the content, but the sound quality is just unbearably bad

Fascinating lecture; thanks for the perspective. Shame on INCOSE for trying to silence ever so slightly critical or dissenting opinion.

Only 53 likes... this is a hidden goldmine of knowledge.

Too bad the requirements I have to learn and write are all on Secret and above computer systems

Reminds me about people incorrectly assuming the Vee model to be mandating a sequential "waterfall" approach to executing engineering processes in a project. The "agile community" are experts at this misconception. Reading the original Vee model article by Forsberg et al from 1991, it is clear that engineering processes occurs concurrently and recursively before the SRR gate. Agile cultist explain that the Vee model does not work because of its waterfall-ness. This is a strawman argument caused by the "whisper game" between adults as you mention in the LL. The original sin was probably someone not being able to conceive the difference between the pseudo-time x axle in the Vee model and the actual time axle in a Gannt chart.

Thanks so much.

I do not understand why this excellent presentation has not attracted any comment or feedback on an important subject. This presentation raises questions that surely require response from subject matter experts. The circumstances outlined by Dr. Kasser from my basic understanding would suggest that we as a society are "missing out" on the many services that a well positioned and and fundamentally sound International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) might afford society. Surely the cost of this "missing out" must mount daily

very clear and usefull

So just as I consider the question of the application of Systems Thinking and Design Thinking to Judaism and what "Judaism by Design" might look like......I discover this gem! Get ready for the deepest dive of your life !! What a treat !!

The references to Jewish traditions and the light of systems engineering was very amusing.

You are full of insights Dr. Kasser, impressive.

listening to this 14 minutes video changed my perception about project management, now it clicks..!

Critical system thinking addresses that problems and beyound. Michael C Jakson from Hull Universtity wrote updated book in 2019

Where can I get the pdf links?

Sir, I just attended you on-line session with the INCOSE Chesapeake Chapter. Thank you for the thought-provoking presentation.

New topic and terminology for me, but as a picture thinker it seems a lot like how a highly functioning dyslexic (a major portion of super creative and evolutionary people you can name) brain works. Nice presentation thanks a lot for sharing.

Good job! Can you give some advice please. I would apprecitate it!

Great lecture but can you apply a fact-based scenario in explaining some parts of your lecture?

Very interesting. Thank you.

wow!

good lecture. I will appreciate if you can do a video lecture on advantages and disadvantages of a system approach/theory

Thank you Joseph - would you offer a sample document please of the one shown in the video?

Where can I find this course ?

Perhaps that is under mysticism. In science and philosophy, all we have are just practical and theoretical solutions to problems subject to feasible conclusions.
