In this lecture, we introduce Industrial and Systems Engineering as a blend of science and engineering that necessitates model building. We then define model (as something that answers a "What If" question) and different types of models. This gives us an opportunity to discuss how modeling is less about describing reality and more about generating tools to do useful things/make useful predictions. We end with a comparison of mental and quantitative models, as well as a comparison of different types of quantitative models (including simulation modeling).

Welcome to the third installment of our ongoing conversation on Industrial Systems Engineering in the Era of AI. In this series, I'm joined by my good friend and serial entrepreneur Rick Bullotta to unpack the profound shifts AI is driving in the industrial world. Our journey began in Episode 1, where we explored the historical evolution and foundational data challenges that have long constrained industrial operations. In Episode 2, we moved from problems to potential solutions, diving deep into the concept of the Industrial Data Fabric as the critical enabler for this new era. We laid the groundwork, discussing the need for openness, the limitations of traditional data lakes, and the shift in focus from assets to processes. Now, with that foundation in place, we pivot from the theoretical to the practical. This episode gets to the heart of where immediate, tangible value is being created. We move beyond the hype surrounding large-scale infrastructure and generic AI platforms to focus on the agile, domain-focused startups that are translating AI's potential into real-world industrial outcomes. These are the companies on the front lines—the "guerrilla innovators," as I've called them—who are demonstrating not just what AI can do, but what it is doing today to solve specific, high-value problems on the factory floor and beyond.Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?If you have an intriguing, thought provoking topic you'd like to discuss on our podcast, please contact our host Colin Masson at cmasson@arcweb.com or Our Producer Tom CabotView all the episodes here: https://thedigitaltransformationpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Der Einsatz von KI-Tutoren wie OneTutor markiert einen Paradigmenwechsel in der Hochschulbildung. Bisher war die Vermittlung von Wissen stark durch die Lehrenden gesteuert; mit KI-gestützten Systemen verschiebt sich die Rolle der Lehrenden hin zu Lernbegleitern. Lernende wiederum erhalten mehr Verantwortung und Gestaltungsspielraum für ihren eigenen Bildungsweg. Das Lernen wird individueller, adaptiver und flexibler – und kann sich besser an unterschiedliche Vorkenntnisse, Interessen und Lerntempi anpassen. Mit dem Start des OneTutor-Systems im November 2024 an der Technischen Universität München (TUM) beginnt vielleicht eine neue Ära des Lernens und Lehrens an deutschen Hochschulen. Im aktuellen FAZ-Digitalwirtschaft-Podcast spricht Alexander Pretschner, Leiter des Lehrstuhls für Software & Systems Engineering an der TUM, über die Entwicklung, Funktionsweise und Potenziale eines KI-Assistenzsystems, das schon an neun bayerischen Hochschulen im Einsatz ist. KI-Tutoren ermöglichen personalisierte Lernwege: Studierende können gezielt Fragen zu Vorlesungsinhalten stellen und erhalten passgenaue, KI-generierte Antworten, die auf die jeweiligen Lehrveranstaltungen zugeschnitten sind. Hinzu kommen direktes Feedback und Selbstkontrolle: Durch Quizfunktionen und Chat-Dialoge werden Inhalte spielerisch vertieft, Wissenslücken erkannt und unmittelbar adressiert. Lehrende werden zudem von Routineaufgaben entlastet und können sich verstärkt auf individuelle Förderung und didaktische Innovationen konzentrieren. Gleichzeitig stellt die Integration von KI neue Anforderungen an die Selbstorganisation und Medienkompetenz. Die Herausforderung besteht darin, die Balance zwischen Automatisierung und eigenständigem Denken zu wahren und KI als unterstützendes Werkzeug verantwortungsvoll einzusetzen. OneTutor wurde im Rahmen eines studentischen Praktikums an der TUM entwickelt. Studierende können Fragen zu spezifischen Vorlesungsinhalten stellen. Die Antworten werden von einer KI generiert, die nicht nur auf das allgemeine Wissen von ChatGPT zugreift, sondern auch auf hochgeladene Vorlesungsfolien und Transkripte, um kontextgenaue und fachlich präzise Antworten zu liefern OneTutor generiert auf Basis der Vorlesungsinhalte zudem individuelle Quizfragen, mit denen Studierende ihren Lernfortschritt überprüfen und vertiefen können. Die Resonanz ist überwältigend – und die wissenschaftliche Begleitforschung untersucht nun, ob und wie sich durch OneTutor der Lernerfolg verbessert, etwa indem die Abbruchquoten in Anfängervorlesungen sinken oder die Freude am Lernen steigt. Das begleitende Forschungsprojekt „AIffectiveness in Education“ unter Federführung des Bayerischen Forschungsinstituts für Digitale Transformation (bidt) analysiert systematisch die Effektivität von KI-Tutoren im Hochschulalltag. Ziel ist es, herauszufinden, wie KI-basierte Assistenzsysteme den Lernerfolg beeinflussen und welche didaktischen und organisatorischen Anpassungen notwendig sind, um das volle Potenzial dieser Technologie auszuschöpfen. Im Podcast mit Alexander Pretschner erhalten Sie exklusive Einblicke in die Entwicklung von OneTutor, die ersten Erfahrungen aus der Praxis und eine kritische Einschätzung der zukünftigen Rolle von KI in der akademischen Bildung.

BONUS: Tom Gilb on Building True Engineering Culture and Delivering Value Through Evolutionary Methods In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the world of true engineering discipline with Tom Gilb, a pioneer who was writing about Agile principles before Agile was even named. We explore his latest book "Success - Super Secrets & Strategies for Efficient Value Delivery in Projects and Programs, and Plans" and uncover the fundamental flaws in how organizations approach project delivery and stakeholder management. The Genesis of Success-Focused Engineering "People were failing at project deliveries - even when using Agile. I saw there was very little about setting clear goals and reaching them, it had nothing to do with being successful." Tom's motivation for writing his latest book stems from a critical observation: despite the widespread adoption of Agile methodologies, project failure rates remain unacceptably high. The core issue isn't methodology but rather the fundamental lack of clarity around what success actually means. Tom emphasizes that true success is about achieving the improvements you want at a price you can afford, yet most organizations fail to define this clearly from the outset. In this segment, we refer to the book How Big Things Get Done by Bent Flyvbjerg who published statistics on the poor performance of projects in general. Beyond OKRs: The Power of Quantified Multi-Dimensional Objectives "First you need to have a definition of what it means to succeed. And that needs to be multi-dimensional. And you need to clarify what they are." While many organizations believe they're already quantifying objectives through frameworks like OKRs, Tom reveals significant weaknesses in these approaches. True value isn't just profit—it encompasses multiple dimensions including security, usability, and other stakeholder-specific benefits. The key insight is learning to quantify what needs to be achieved across all critical dimensions, as you simply cannot design for high-quality attributes like security without first quantifying and designing for them explicitly. In this segment, we talk about Tom's paper on OKR's titled "OKR Objectives and Key Results: what's wrong and how to fix it". The Missing Engineering Discipline "Why is the failure rate of our projects so high?" Tom identifies a paradoxical problem: engineering organizations often lack true engineering discipline. This fundamental gap explains why project success rates remain low despite technological advances. Real engineering requires systematic approaches to design, stakeholder analysis, and incremental value delivery—disciplines that are often overlooked in favor of rushed implementations. Stakeholder Analysis: Beyond User Stories "Stakeholders have a requirement - even if we don't know it. They might be people, but also law, contract, policies, etc. They all have requirements for us." Traditional user-centered methods like user stories can lead to failure when critical stakeholders are overlooked. Tom advocates for comprehensive stakeholder analysis as the foundation of engineering discipline. Stakeholders aren't just people—they include laws, contracts, policies, and other constraints that have requirements for your system. The practical tip here is to use AI tools to help identify and list these stakeholders, then quantify their specific requirements using structured approaches like Planguage. The Gilb Cycle: True Incremental Value Delivery "Get things done every week, next week, until it's all done. We need to decompose any possible design into enough increments so that each increment delivers some value." What distinguishes Tom's evolutionary approach from popular Agile frameworks is the focus on choosing the most efficient design and then systematically improving existing systems through measured increments. Each increment must deliver tangible value, and the decomposition process should be aided by AI tools to ensure optimal value delivery. This isn't just about iteration—it's about strategic improvement with measurable outcomes. Building Engineering Culture: A Two-Leader Approach "There are two leaders: the tech leaders and the management leaders. For management leaders: demand a value stream of results starting next week. To the tech leaders: learn the engineering process." Creating a true engineering culture requires coordinated effort from both management and technical leadership. Management leaders should demand immediate value streams with weekly results, while technical leaders must master fundamental engineering processes including stakeholder analysis and requirement quantification. This dual approach ensures both accountability and capability development within the organization. Further Resources During this episode we refer to several of Tom's books and papers. You can see this list below Software Metrics by Tom Gilb Principles of software engineering management - Also available in PDF Evo book   About Tom Gilb Tom Gilb, born in the US, lived in London, and then moved to Norway in 1958. An independent teacher, consultant, and writer, he has worked in software engineering, corporate top management, and large-scale systems engineering. As the saying goes, Tom was writing about Agile, before Agile was named. In 1976, Tom introduced the term "evolutionary" in his book Software Metrics, advocating for development in small, measurable steps. Today, we talk about Evo, the name that Tom used to describe his approach. You can link with Tom Gilb on LinkedIn.

Why is the model of a Nobel prize winner not necessarily good science? What is “good” modelling? Is access to information enough to change a system behavior? This episode is the second part of a long interview with Laetitia Bornes, a Doctor in Human-Computer Interaction, Systems Engineering and Systemic Design who is one of the co-authors of a research paper investigating the claims made by the second hand digital platform Vinted about the avoided carbon emissions thanks to its operations. As presented in the first part, their findings were surprising, enlightening for the IT sector and nuanced! In this second part, Gaël Duez and Laetitia Bornes moved away from the Vinted use case and discussed modelling, the scientific method and Systems Thinking in general. You can enjoy this discussion without having listened to the first episode however we would suggest you do so to enjoy all the references, especially to the Vinted study. Among the topics covered in this second part are: - An impressive transparency exercise about the limit of the model used for the Vinted use case, - Why models are “wrong” and how to still use them purposefully, - Why a Nobel prize modeling in his lab without publishing isn't doing science (yet), - Access to information and its connection to the four main categories of leverage points, - The concept of protopia, And much more! ❤️ Subscribe, follow, like, ... stay connected the way you want to never miss an episode, twice a month, on Tuesday!

You've heard of carbon capture machines, but what if one of the most powerful tools for removing CO₂ from the atmosphere isn't high-tech at all—just crushed rock and rain? Meet Ana Pavlovic, CEO of Eion and the self-described “Crazy Rock Lady.” Her company is pioneering a process called enhanced rock weathering, which uses the natural properties of a green volcanic mineral called olivine to pull carbon dioxide out of the air and lock it away—permanently. The best part? They do it on farmland, replacing conventional agricultural lime with olivine. The result is a two-for-one win: healthier soil for farmers and long-term carbon removal for the planet. It's nature's chemistry, accelerated—and rigorously measured using Eion's core technology, what they call a “soil fingerprinting” measurement technique. In this episode, Ana explains how Eion is turning geology into climate cash, why they're focusing on agriculture instead of oceans, and how they secured a $33 million carbon removal deal from Frontier, the coalition backed by Stripe, Shopify, and Meta. We also talk about farmer adoption, measurement challenges, and why Ana believes carbon removal can be both scientifically credible and scalable. So if you're interested in the wild new world of carbon markets, the surprising magic of crushed rocks, and what it takes to scale a climate startup from idea to impact, you'll dig this conversation. Let's rock. Discussed in this episode The 2020 Beerling paper: “Potential for large-scale CO2 removal via enhanced rock weathering with croplands” Eion's $33 million deal with Frontier and its deal with Perdue.  Eion's patent application for a soil fingerprinting verification technique  Our 2022 episode on enhanced rock weathering with Kelly Erhart from Vesta. Ana recommends reading Ministry for the Future. More about Anastasia Pavlovic Anastasia Pavlovic brings deep expertise in global operations and software with a passion for driving global change through local impact. Before joining Eion, Pavlovic led operations, commercialization, and growth for the Agoro Carbon Alliance, which works with farmers to sequester carbon in soil. Prior to the Alliance, Pavlovic commercialized software solutions in the US and Canada for Yara's Digital Farming organization.

In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Matthias Künzi, Softwarearchitekt, Coach und Gründer von visuellklar.ch, über die Parallelen und Unterschiede zwischen Softwarearchitektur und Systems Engineering. Wir diskutieren, warum Software oft das „Sorgenkind“ in Systementwicklungen ist, wie frühe Abstimmung über Schnittstellen Reibungsverluste vermeiden kann, und warum es nicht reicht, sich auf die „Weichheit“ von Software zu verlassen. Matthias gibt spannende Einblicke aus der Praxis – etwa aus der Entwicklung kritischer Medizingeräte – und teilt seine Erfahrungen zu agilen Missverständnissen, greifbarer Softwareplanung und der Bedeutung von Qualitätsanforderungen. Ein Gespräch für alle, die mehr Struktur, Klarheit und Durchblick in komplexen Softwareprojekten wollen. In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Matthias Künzi von visuellklar.ch, der Unternehmen bei der Analyse und Gestaltung moderner Softwarearchitekturen unterstützt. Unser Gespräch dreht sich um die spannende Verbindung von Systems Engineering und Softwarearchitektur – und warum beide Disziplinen sich optimal ergänzen. Matthias beschreibt, wie eine fundierte Architekturanalyse nicht nur technisches Design, sondern auch organisatorische Reibungsverluste sichtbar macht. Sein Ansatz kombiniert technische Tiefe mit einem klaren Fokus auf Wirksamkeit – ganz im Sinne eines „Ingenieursmindsets“. Dabei geht es nicht um methodische Dogmen wie „agile Transformation“, sondern um gezielte Maßnahmen, basierend auf klarer Analyse. Du erfährst außerdem: Warum es so wichtig ist, Architekturentscheidungen frühzeitig zu validieren. Wie man Führungskräfte und Entscheider für Softwarefragen befähigen kann – ohne, dass sie selbst Entwickler sein müssen. Wenn Du also wissen willst, wie Klarheit in komplexe Softwareprojekte kommt – hör rein!

Traditional methods in biology have proven insufficient for understanding and accurately predicting complex biological systems. Why? The great majority of biologists are trained to study life from the bottom up, as the result of unguided evolutionary processes. It turns out there are better ways to observe, question, hypothesize, experiment, and analyze a complex system. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes biochemist and metabolic nutritionist Dr. Emily Reeves to the podcast to discuss her co-authored paper on how biologists can apply principles from systems engineering to biology to better approach the study of complex living systems. Dr. Reeves explains how the new methodology works and how it can produce fruitful scientific research. Source

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Belle Walker discuss:Why law firms struggle with inefficiencies and miscommunicationThe impact of unclear roles and accountability gaps in law firmsHow legal technology and AI are changing law firm operationsWhy structured processes are essential for business growth and client satisfaction Key Takeaways:Lawyers often assume their team understands their expectations, but without clear and explicit communication, misalignment can lead to inefficiencies, missed deadlines, and frustration for both staff and clients.Law firms aiming for maximum efficiency sometimes eliminate too much redundancy, making them less resilient when unexpected challenges arise, so finding the right balance between streamlining and maintaining flexibility is critical.Leveraging automation tools and legal technology can significantly reduce manual workload and improve accuracy, but firms must carefully assess their processes and ensure proper adoption to avoid resistance and implementation failures.Successfully implementing operational changes in a law firm requires leaders to communicate the ‘why' behind the change, focusing on goals and benefits rather than simply dictating new processes, which helps secure team buy-in and long-term success. "Documentation goes a long way, and the lawyers themselves don't need to be the ones doing the documentation." —  Belle WalkerGot a challenge growing your law practice?

It's Not Your Imagination According to a NYT Upshot analysis of Bureau of Transportation Statistics data, airlines strategically add extra time to their flight schedules, effectively "padding" their flight durations. This leads to a higher percentage of flights arriving on time or early even if the actual flight time hasn't significantly changed. This improves airline on-time performance metrics. Jammed Thanksgiving Flights Push U.S. Air Travel to Record The Transportation Security Administration said it screened about 3.09 million people on Sunday, the peak of the busy Thanksgiving travel period. The previous record set in July was 3.01 million travelers. The TSA reports that their 10 busiest days were recorded in 2024. Stowaway caught after getting aboard Delta flight from New York City to Paris The woman, a U.S. resident, boarded a Delta flight from JFK to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and was discovered midair. She had been hiding out in the lavs and the flight attendants noticed the strange behavior. The TSA said the woman passed through a body scanner at JFK, evaded the document and ID check portion, had her bags scanned, proceeded to the gate, and snuck onto the flight.
