About this listen

 The AI team take a deep dive into successful innovative tools, practical and conceptual applications of systems thinking and beyond and systems engineering to various types of problems, summarizing the concepts behind the successes and usually drawing general conclusions for how the concepts may be used in other situations. The opinions expressed by the AI team in each deep dive are their own and have not been edited in any way. While systems thinking provides an understanding of the problematic situation, you need to go beyond systems thinking to create solutions, especially innovative solutions.

  • Why you should be using systems thinking to solve problems

    Why you should be using systems thinking to solve problems
    Jan 20 2025
    Our AI team takes a deep dive into a presentation by Dr. Joseph Kasser who advocates for using systems thinking to solve problems. It contrasts systems thinking, which considers multiple perspectives and solutions, with traditional approaches that often focus on a single “correct” answer. The presentation provides a framework for analyzing problems using the “Holistic Thinking Perspectives” matrix and Kipling’s “Five W’s and an H.” It also emphasizes critical thinking skills, including evaluating arguments, identifying assumptions, and considering alternative viewpoints. The author uses examples such as cameras and cars to illustrate these concepts, aiming to encourage a more thoughtful and […]

    Achievements, anecdotes and lessons learned from 50 years of developing software for amateur radio
    Jan 14 2025
    Our AI team takes a deep dive into a presentation which recounts Dr. Joseph Kasser’s 50-year journey developing software for amateur radio using systems thinking. He details the evolution of the hobby, from its early inventive days with no commercial components to the incorporation of microcomputers and the internet. Key projects are highlighted, including contest automation software, satellite telemetry decoding programs, and advancements in digital communication modes. Challenges encountered, such as interface standardization and the need for robust testing methods, are discussed. Ultimately, the presentation emphasizes the educational and enjoyable aspects of software development within the context of amateur radio.

  • The systems thinker's toolbox

    The systems thinker's toolbox
    Jan 13 2025
    The AI take a deep dive into “The systems thinker’s toolbox”, a book that offers over eighty tools and methodologies for managing complexity. These tools encompass various approaches, including Checkland’s Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), the Concept of Operations (CONOPS) document, and mathematical techniques. The materials also explore paradigms for handling complexity, contrasting non-systems and systems approaches, and provide templates for document creation, idea generation, and problem formulation. Finally, the text presents the “Zone of Ambiguity,” a novel tool for data analysis in situations with limited sample sizes.
