Systems Thinking and Beyond – Details, episodes & analysis
Podcast details
Technical and general information from the podcast's RSS feed.
The AI team take a deep dive into successful innovative tools, practical and conceptual applications of systems thinking and beyond 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.

A case study on applying systems thinking to solve complex problems
mardi 7 janvier 2025 • Duration 00:00
This podcast takes a deep dive into a case study presented online to a Serverless Toronto meeting on September 16, 2024. The autobiographical details Dr Kasser’s application of systems thinking to improve postgraduate systems and software engineering education. He describes eight systems thinking tools he developed and employed to address challenges in curriculum design and delivery, including benchmarking other universities’ programs. The case study tracks his iterative approach, evolving from traditional lectures to blended and … Continue reading →
Applying systems thinking to the Ten Commandments
lundi 6 janvier 2025 • Duration 12:46
The AI team take a deep dive into Dr Kasser’s YouTube presentation which explores the Ten Commandments from a systems thinking perspective. The author questions the exact number of commandments, examining different interpretations of the biblical text in Exodus and Deuteronomy. A structural analysis is performed, breaking down each commandment into its components. Quantitative analysis is also applied, counting the commandments based on various criteria. Ultimately, the paper raises questions about the interpretation and application of the Ten Commandments … Continue reading →
Thinking in systems: A primer
dimanche 5 janvier 2025 • Duration 00:00
The AI team take a deep dive into Donella H. Meadows’ Thinking in Systems: A Primer. This is a posthumously published book that introduces systems thinking concepts to a broad audience. The book uses clear language and diagrams to explain system dynamics, including feedback loops, stocks and flows, and delays. It explores common system structures and behaviors, such as growth limits and policy resistance, offering insights into how to manage and redesign systems effectively. Meadows emphasizes … Continue reading →
Is your AI quality good enough to save humanity?
mercredi 1 janvier 2025 • Duration 00:00
The AI team take a deep dive into Tom Gilb’s presentation to the BCS in July 2024 on AI quality which advocates for a multidimensional approach to evaluating AI systems, moving beyond vague descriptions. He argues that current AI models are defective due to inherent instability and a lack of transparency. Gilb proposes using quantifiable metrics for qualities like transparency and security, incorporating a stakeholder model for a more comprehensive understanding. The presentation emphasizes the need for measurable standards to assess AI systems effectively, contrasting Large … Continue reading →
What makes the systems engineer successful?
mercredi 1 janvier 2025 • Duration 00:00
The AI team take a deep dive into a book by Dr Howard Eisner which examines the attributes of highly successful systems engineers. It profiles prominent figures like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein, analyzing their traits and contributions. The author then explores seven key attributes—synthesizer, listener, curious/systems thinker, manager/leader, expert (in systems engineering processes and domain knowledge), and perseverer—through case studies and analysis of various successful systems engineers. The text also incorporates … Continue reading →
The nuts and bolts of systems
dimanche 29 décembre 2024 • Duration 00:00
The AI team take a deep dive into a paper presented at the 11th International Conference on System of Systems Engineering, Kongsberg, Norway, in 2016 which examines systems engineering principles through a case study of a “Widget” system. It explores the iterative nature of problem-solving within the system lifecycle, illustrating how solutions to initial problems can create new challenges. The author highlights the interplay between “what’s” (requirements) and “how’s” (solutions) and how unforeseen issues, such as unexpected vibrations … Continue reading →
Putting systems to work
dimanche 29 décembre 2024 • Duration 00:00
The AI team take a deep dive into Prof Derek Hitchins’ book “putting systems to work”.
