For me it's the less true statement of the talk. In my field I've never seen any outsider arrive, and do any significant contribution. i'm in computer graphics. idk maybe he thinks about a bunch of anecdotal instances of that happening. But I'm not sure that makes it a rule.
@benmcculloch92223 жыл бұрын
@@vindieu yes its not common in a lot of fields for an outsider to make meaningful contributions. However that statement is a philosophical comment on entrenchment / dogmatic perception. Often when a person acquires a great deal of information in an area, they develop an overly convergent perspectice. Subsequently they are less able to perceive & think laterally. So that type of person will regularly work through iterative steps in well explored channels, often without any generative outcomes. Whereas a newcomer, with a more flexible set of eyes may see more, or differently, & contribute something meaningful, suddenly, that required a lack of bias from a mutual lack of experience.

I find it so difficult to agree when he said. If you improve an individual component of a system it can improve the systems as a whole depending on the individual part of the system which is being improved. Example imagine I want gain muscle and my system to make this happen is eat protein, train and recover if improve in a individual part like I train harder I’ll likely gain more muscle so one individual component just improved my whole system.
@swampyhiker7 ай бұрын
@@leonardportuondo2403 Does your muscle grow independently? No just as you say it relied on your stomach GI system to process the protein you ate. And will it perform without your brain telling it or your bones being adequately strong to support the muscles… Improving one component in isolation without consideration to the others is not system thinking. Not is he saying you shouldn’t improve a component. Just consider the interaction that each component has on the others and the whole.
@leonardportuondo24037 ай бұрын
@@swampyhiker I agree with the idea that you should consider the interaction that each component has with others and the whole, but I 100% disagree with the notion that one component in a system cannot affect the whole system. Here are two examples of how a single component can impact a system or multiple systems. A vehicle is made up of interconnected parts to achieve the functionality of driving. If you remove something as simple as the battery, the vehicle can no longer function despite the whole system being intact. Another more complex example is the incident of the Ever Given cargo ship getting stuck in the Suez Canal in 2021, which also shows how a single element can disrupt a huge interconnected system. The Suez Canal is one of the world’s busiest trade routes, and the blockage of a single cargo ship stopped the transit of hundreds of other vessels, affecting global shipping and causing substantial economic impacts.

The education is about efficiency also. Years of thought and creativity from Pythagorus to Einstein are presented as outcomes so that the creative process can have a new baseline. Einstein still had to have an understanding of classical physics before he could imagine his new concepts. So, yes the classroom needs creativity. But, you can only improve a system if you understand the system. Education is about familiarizing with the conventions and from there only can real progress and creativity be developed. I am a huge fan of Deming, systems and Ackoff. But, there needs to be foundation before change is improvement.

#Mind, Desire, Problem & Conciousness Desire is not the problem rather Desire is because of the problem and mind uses it as a means to avoid confronting the problem. Since the very confrontation of problem is solution which requires courage and courageousness is antithetical for the authority of mind which is build on creating insecurity and seeking security in the name of desire. Therefore be aware enough to reflect on cunningness of mind to realise how & why desire born at the first place to realise and celebrate the freedom of conciousness.

Because the current system (including the one that existed at Wharton, where Russ was Professor Emeritus late in life) is threatened by his wisdom. Russ WAS able to teach, but even the system at Wharton rejected his transformational insights. When Russ helped launch the Ackoff Center for the Advancement of Systems Approaches at Wharton in 2004, the school's administrators permitted a better connected professor to take over running this new Center in a "political coup"... ruining the Center's ability to function as originally intended because the new guy in charge did not really understand systems thinking or have Russ's commitment to transformational change. I know this story from direct experience. I moved to the Philly suburbs in 2004 to work in this new Center, only to discover (after I arrived) that its leader had been replaced. My work opportunity collapsed, as (eventually) did the Center. We have to get better at looking for ways of thinking that have the ability to transform society... because only such a transformation will get us out of the crisis we are in!

My understanding was it’s from the external perspective - what does the observer behold? The example of the automobile, it can only be called such when it retains the ability to transport … if deconstructed, then even if all the parts are available but in this state it is unable to ‘transport’ it is not accurate to refer to it as an automobile, it’s a collection of automobile parts. Extending this concept further, the engine is now a system … whilst it is not powering the automobile, it could still provide some form of energy … but deconstruct the engine into cylinders, cranks and so on it loose that ability. The use of the word ‘nature’ in your question confuses me, ‘nature’ suggests to me something that exists without human interaction.

I enjoyed most of the presentation but have a few notes. The claim that the ultimate parts do not form a better products does not have a basis. Better parts can make better products based of course on some assumptions. This presentation shows clearly the disconnection between scholars and practitioners. The issue with many university professors is that they want to tell CEOs how to manage a business but themselves have never worked in a company. A balanced approach should be adopted. On education, not all students are the same. The old approach is we assume every student is a scientist. The new approach is based on flexibility of having a system that elevates the level of each student from their level up.

This so much Bravo Sierra. Ackoff seems to believe in the failed "Whole Language" approach to education. He has be summarily discredited but may well represent the latest wisdom of education which is robbing our citizens of any useful knowledge. His new-age philosophies are the opposite of the well-worn and successful systems of the past. "Classical Education is one where one learns to think inductively; that is you observe symptoms, make a diagnosis then offer a prognosis. Additionally Classical Education gave a body of knowledge, facts, ideas and references to draw upon: literature, math, science, rhetoric, philosophy. It explored a set of disciplines such as Arts, Humanities, Social sciences, Sciences, Technology " Ackoff is a postmodernist Marxist theorist at its best.
