Advancing socio-technical systems thinking: a call for bravery.
Socio-technical systems thinking has predominantly been applied to the domains of new technology and work design over the past 60 years. Whilst it has made an impact, we argue that we need to be braver, encouraging the approach to evolve and extend its reach. In particular, we need to: extend our conceptualization of what constitutes a system; apply our thinking to a much wider range of complex...
متن کاملSystems Thinking-Enabled Real Options Reasoning for Complex Socio-Technical Systems Programs
Large scale development programs, policy creation initiatives, and manufacturing enterprises have two characteristics in common: uncertainty and risk. While program managers tend to have several tools to mitigate and manage risks, uncertainty is a whole different matter in that uncertainty can potentially be exploited if flexibility is introduced in the right technical and programmatic dimensio...

Computer systems have long been seen as more than just mechanical systems (Boulding, 1956). They seem to be systems in a general sense (Churchman, 1979), with system elements, like a boundary, common to other systems (Whitworth & Zaic, 2003). A computer system of chips and circuits is also a software system of information exchanges. Today, the system is also the human-computer combination (Alte...
متن کاملIt Evaluation Model for Socio-Technical Systems
In this paper, a model and an evaluation method are proposed expanding technology assessment model (TAM) to enable a comprehensive evaluation and selection of socio technical systems relevant in today’s Internet environment. The proposed evaluation model called WOSP is practical and easy to integrate in decision support system tools for comparing IT software involving socio-technical factors.
متن کاملGlobal Design for Secure Socio-Technical Systems
Socio-Technical Systems (STS) consist of people, software, hardware and organizational units. The pervasiveness and complexity of STSs make security analysis both particularly challenging and especially critical. Traditional security analysis techniques that address security in a piecemeal fashion (e.g. only for software, or only for business processes) are insufficient for addressing global se...
