Abstract This work describes a novel and transformational educational curriculum and strategy, designed to calibrate human consciousness and cognition to the generativity of living complex phenomena. It is an approach that seeks to displace the outdated mechanistic paradigm within education in favour of the deep complexity paradigm. Towards this aim, a patterns‐based curriculum and educational strategy called Complexity Patterning was implemented in a research project with four cohorts of university students. The approach proved to be a sound basis for developing conscious metacognition of self and world as relational co‐generative complex phenomena. This understanding forms the foundation for the teaching and learning of complexity‐focused knowledge and skills, which are of vital importance to all young people as they engage with the increasingly complex challenges of the 21st century.
摘要:本文描述了一种新颖的、变革性的教育课程和策略,旨在校准人类的意识和认知,以适应生活复杂现象的生成。这是一种寻求在教育中取代过时的机械范式,以支持深度复杂性范式的方法。为了实现这一目标,我们在一个四组大学生的研究项目中实施了一种基于模式的课程和教育策略,称为复杂性模式。该方法被证明是发展自我和世界作为关系共生复杂现象的有意识元认知的良好基础。这种理解为以复杂性为中心的知识和技能的教学奠定了基础,这对所有年轻人在应对21世纪日益复杂的挑战时至关重要。

Researchers have acknowledged the usefulness of metaphors to understand organizational phenomena. More than fancy linguistic ornaments, metaphors can provide a rich understanding of the situation under investigation; demonstrate how individuals think, feel and behave; and be used as a diagnostic tool to help analyse organizational problems. Notwithstanding the importance of metaphor analysis, how system thinking principles can be applied to understand the elicited nature of metaphor in the context of information technology (IT) project management practices remains to be explored in greater detail. Drawing on the field of applied linguistics, coupled with complexity theory, a complex systems metaphor perspective is put forward as a fresh lens to understand IT project management practices. This perspective is illustrated through a discourse analysis of a large IT project in the National Health Service (NHS) in England.
研究人员已经认识到隐喻对理解组织现象的有用性。隐喻不仅仅是花哨的语言装饰,还能提供对所研究的情况的丰富理解;展示个人如何思考、感受和行为;并被用作帮助分析组织问题的诊断工具。尽管隐喻分析很重要,但如何应用系统思维原则来理解信息技术(IT)项目管理实践背景下隐喻的引出性质仍有待更详细的探索。借鉴应用语言学领域,结合复杂性理论,提出了复杂系统隐喻的视角,作为理解IT项目管理实践的新视角。通过对英国国民健康服务(NHS)中的一个大型IT项目的话语分析,可以说明这一观点。

In this paper, we revisit lessons learned regarding the process of Structured Dialogic Design in the arena during the past 50 years. Thirteen Lessons are presented with the intent of helping stakeholders design a strategy for escaping the labyrinth (vicious cycle) produced by the strong interactions among three issues: (1) the critical role of inclusive deliberative dialogue; (2) the dependency of inclusive deliberative dialogue on the application of a systemic methodology for supporting its authentic implementation; and (3) the commitment by organizations to inclusive deliberative dialogue. This paper will also discuss the development and deployment of Logosifa, the latest software platform to support the process and the enhancements (including improved metrics and a facilitator dashboard) informed by the lessons learned.
在本文中,我们回顾了在过去的50年里,结构化对话设计在舞台上的经验教训。本文提出了13条经验教训,旨在帮助利益相关者设计一种战略,以摆脱以下三个问题之间的强烈相互作用所产生的迷宫(恶性循环):(1)包容性协商对话的关键作用;(2)包容性协商对话依赖于支持其真实实施的系统方法的应用;(3)各组织对包容性协商对话的承诺。本文还将讨论Logosifa的开发和部署,Logosifa是支持流程的最新软件平台,并根据经验教训进行了增强(包括改进的度量标准和facilitator仪表板)。

Systems are now extremely complex with the continuous involvement of multiple stakeholders and rapidly advancing technology, and a new way of viewing high‐performance system management and decision‐making is needed. This paper considers the use of practical wisdom as a promising way of revitalising system management to improve the success rate in making critical decisions. Practical wisdom has been investigated as a useful approach in many fields, including philosophy, psychology, health, education and organisation studies: however, its application to system management is sparse. Questionnaires were sent to 124 manager participants to assess their view of the importance of various practical wisdom attributes as these relate to system management success. Applying the exploratory factor analysis technique emerged the following factors: (1) practical mindset; (2) stakeholder mindset; (3) moral mindset; (4) win‐win mindset; and (5) holistic thinking mindset. Two of these factors, stakeholder mindset and win‐win mindset, have not previously emerged in practical wisdom research. The factors extracted were validated via both technical techniques and considered commentary by senior leadership practitioners. The results of this study can assist managers to develop greater insight into optimal management of increasingly complex systems via consideration of these practical wisdom factors and the interplay between them.
由于多个利益相关者的持续参与和快速发展的技术,系统现在非常复杂,需要一种新的方式来观察高性能的系统管理和决策。本文认为运用实践智慧是振兴系统管理以提高关键决策成功率的一种有希望的方法。实践智慧在哲学、心理学、健康、教育和组织研究等许多领域作为一种有用的方法进行了研究,然而,它在系统管理中的应用却很少。调查问卷被发送给124名经理参与者,以评估他们对各种实用智慧属性的重要性的看法,因为这些属性与系统管理的成功有关。运用探索性因素分析技术,出现了以下因素:(1)实践心态;(2)利益相关者心态;(3)道德心态;(4)双赢心态;(5)整体思维心态。其中两个因素,利益相关者心态和双赢心态,以前没有出现在实践智慧研究中。提取的因素通过技术方法和高级领导实践者的评论进行验证。本研究的结果可以帮助管理者通过考虑这些实用的智慧因素以及它们之间的相互作用,对日益复杂的系统的最佳管理有更深入的了解。

Stakeholder theory: Exploring systems‐theoretic and process‐philosophic connections 利益相关者理论:探索系统理论和过程哲学的联系

Modern stakeholder theory is premised on the ‘integration thesis’, according to which business and ethics constitute an inseparable unity. For many management scholars, this thesis raised the difficult question of how far business can pursue ethical goals without losing its functional autonomy. We address this question by interpreting the integration thesis as the Luhmannian ‘unity of difference’ of business and ethics. This interpretation allows business and ethics to remain conceptually distinct, yet takes their very distinction to constitute a logical and dialectical unity as envisioned by the integration thesis. To justify this interpretation, we draw on the Luhmannian systems theory which accentuates the precariousness of the environment faced by business corporations, and on process philosophy which underscores the unique human capacity to navigate this precariousness by following social norms of ethical behaviour. We argue that a key prerequisite of successful stakeholder management is the activation of this human capacity.
现代利益相关者理论以“整合论”为前提,认为商业与伦理是一个不可分割的统一体。对于许多管理学者来说,这篇论文提出了一个难题,即企业在不失去职能自主权的情况下,能在多大程度上追求道德目标。我们通过将整合理论解释为卢曼的商业和伦理的“差异统一”来解决这个问题。这种解释允许商业和道德在概念上保持不同,但将它们的区别构成一个逻辑的和辩证的统一,正如整合论文所设想的那样。为了证明这一解释的合理性,我们借鉴了卢曼系统理论,该理论强调了商业公司所面临的环境的不稳定性,并借鉴了过程哲学,强调了人类通过遵循道德行为的社会规范来驾驭这种不稳定性的独特能力。我们认为,成功的利益相关者管理的关键前提是激活这种人的能力。

Limited evidence and less comprehensive approach to post‐project sustainability evaluation has raised the need for incorporating complexity concepts in project sustainability evaluation. This study aims to develop a project sustainability evaluation framework by using a complex systems approach and to apply the framework to a microfinance project in Indonesia. This qualitative research is based on thematic analysis. The components of the proposed framework involve mission, input, process, output, performance, governance (including stakeholders, subsystems and feedback mechanisms) and the environment of the projects. Results show that the framework is able to provide comprehensive information including project sustainability dimensions and routinization, the possibility to detect ineffective or undesirable practices, project governance, its performance, the persistent practice and changes. The application to the microfinance project reveals that the microfinance project can achieve sustainability without subsidies by achieving financial goals while maintaining social missions. Implications for project sustainability and microfinance are discussed.
有限的证据和不太全面的项目后可持续性评估方法提出了将复杂性概念纳入项目可持续性评估的必要性。本研究旨在利用复杂系统方法制定一个项目可持续性评价框架,并将该框架应用于印度尼西亚的一个小额信贷项目。本定性研究以专题分析为基础。建议框架的组成部分涉及项目的任务、投入、过程、产出、绩效、治理(包括涉众、子系统和反馈机制)和环境。结果表明,该框架能够提供全面的信息,包括项目可持续性维度和常规化、检测无效或不希望的实践的可能性、项目治理、其绩效、持续的实践和变化。对小额信贷项目的应用表明,小额信贷项目可以在实现财务目标的同时保持社会使命,在没有补贴的情况下实现可持续性。讨论了对项目可持续性和小额信贷的影响。

This study aims to develop a project sustainability evaluation framework by using a complex systems approach and to apply the framework to a microfinance project in Indonesia. This qualitative research is based on thematic analysis. The components of the proposed framework involve mission, input, process, output, performance, governance (including stakeholders, subsystems and feedback mechanisms) and the environment of the projects. Results show that the framework is able to provide comprehensive information including project sustainability dimensions and routinization, the possibility to detect ineffective or undesirable practices, project governance, its performance, the persistent practice and changes. The application to the microfinance project reveals that the microfinance project can achieve sustainability without subsidies by achieving financial goals while maintaining social missions.
