Re the viable system model, I can recommend Dan Davis, The Unaccountability Machine, which also touches on the Allende story, and Patrick Hoverstadt, The Fractal Organisation. My own VSM-inspired book with a modern complexity lens will be published next year.
- libraryofbabel 2y agoSeconding the recommendation of The Unaccountability Machine; if anyone wants a taster of the book, patio11 did a great episode of his Complex Systems podcast where he interviews the author about it: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/episodes/dan-davies-organizations-fraud/ https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/episodes/dan-davies-or...

- mehh 2y agoProblem with VSM, is where is the practical evidence of it working, if it's so great surely there would be more uptake of it? I mean it sounds like a reasonable model, I'm sure there is a lot of nuance to it, but getting it up and running at an existing enterprise would be a very difficult to do, and at great risk without some solid case studies showing significant ROI.
