Searched the article in vain for any reference to management cybernetics or the viable system model (VSM). The models referenced here are fine as far as they go, but in the end they’re not much more than bullet points, lacking somewhat in interesting structure.
Video of my recent webinar on a model integrating VSM with things more familiar to people in product development: https://blog.agendashift.com/2021/09/10/up-and-down-the-deliberately-adaptive-organisation/ https://blog.agendashift.com/2021/09/10/up-and-down-the-deli...
- wcerfgba 5y agoThanks for the pointer to VSM, I've not come across that before! I will probably update the essay at some point when I've had more feedback and started playing around with the ideas more. As for the other mentioned models, I mainly just wanted to define their factors so I could show how WOPRS relates to these models, rather than providing a thorough treatment of those models in my essay: there is plenty already written about them and I've included some authoritative sources in the references. :)
