Warum scheitern gute Ideen in Organisationen? Wieso gelingt es Unternehmen oft nicht, tief verwurzelte Strukturen zu verändern? In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Conny Dethloff, Organisationsdesigner und Vordenker, über den Kern erfolgreicher Transformation. Er teilt seine Erkenntnisse aus über 20 Jahren Erfahrung in Unternehmensberatung und Konzernstrukturen – und warum er sich intensiv mit dem Viable System Model (VSM) beschäftigt. Erfahre, welche Muster sich in Unternehmen immer wiederholen, welche unbewussten Dynamiken den Wandel blockieren und warum manche Organisationen regelrecht in ihrer eigenen Struktur gefangen sind.

#61 Learn more about how the Viable System Model can be used to transform an organization. - And how this can be implemented into BPM.In this episode, I'm talking to Dr. Martin Pfiffner about the Viable System Model (VSM). A model, which focuses on the third dimension of organizing: the communication and steering. This perspective is super interesting for us as process people and there are some interesting aspects, how we can implement the learnings into processes.Today's Guest:Dr. Martin Pfiffner Martin studied at the University of St. Gallen, where he graduated with a PhD in economics. As an assistant to Professors Peter Groß in sociology and Fredmund Malik in management, he worked his way into system-oriented management theory. Later, he studied management cybernetics in Canada and Wales with Professor Stafford Beer.Martin is considered one of the world's leading experts in the practical application of the Viable System Model. In the past 30 years, Martin has supported countless economic, public or private organizations from all around the world.He built up Team Syntegrity Europe and became Senior Partner, Executive Board Member and Member of the Board of Directors of Malik Management AG.Since 2017, he has bundled his consulting activities under the brand of mp consulting and is helping to organize and structure companies based on the theory and practice of managerial cybernetics and systems sciences.You'll learn:What the Viable System Model isHow it can be used to transform organizationsAnd what we as process people can learn from itI hope, you enjoy this episode of the New Process Podcast and are curious to learn more in the next episode.

“Viable System Model” expert Mark Lambertz joins us on today's podcast to help us unfold organizing in complex ecosystems.  Mark, a long-time Agile practitioner and a renowned expert on the Viable System Model has a deep understanding and a curious mindset toward all things organizing. We met Mark as an Organizational Coach at Bosch, where he's driving the adoption of key concepts of the VSM. From his extensive experience, Mark has helped us understand how to use the VSM lens to build autonomous and self-sustaining organizational systems.  He takes us through the model's components and practical applications and compares it with other organizational frameworks that we use widely, more specifically, Boundaryless' Rendanheyi-inspired implementation of the Platform Organization with the 3EO Framework.  The conversation - where we discover a lot of resonance between the two perspectives - is filled with valuable insights from the ground and helps you move towards a more inclusive model that balances operational efficiency with strategic adaptability. Tune in, and don't miss out.  As one of the first attempts to use cybernetics in organizational management, the Viable System Model was conceived by Stafford Beer in his book - “The Brain of the Firm” in the 70s. Mark connects the dots in this podcast and explains why cybernetics is important for building adaptive organizations. The podcast highlights the importance of viewing organizations as adaptive, complex ecosystems emphasizing decentralization, coordination, and collective and emergent strategic planning.  He takes us through the depths of VSM, explaining how it starts with an outside-in perspective, focusing on the environment, and then further breaks down the 5 systems within VSM.  In this conversation, you get practical insights into incorporating a VSM informed perspective in your organization, helping you stay dynamic and ever-evolving.   Key Highlights

Ever wondered how the complexity of Language Modeling (LLMs) and cybernetics can revolutionize the way we communicate and interact? Are you curious about the sociopolitical implications of such advancements? Join us in an enlightening discussion with the well-versed Mark Rainey, as we dissect these technologies and their potential impact on our society.Our journey begins with an exploration of LLMs, their potential, and inherent limitations. We discuss the nuanced logic of human language, Boolean operators, and their influence on the design of these systems. We then shift gears to delve into the intriguing world of cybernetics, viable systems, and the behavioralist and cognitivist wars. We scrutinize the implications of these advancements and the tests used to measure intelligence, all the while contemplating the potential and pitfalls of Stafford Beer's Viable System Model. As we navigate further, we probe into the relationship between technology and Marxism, questioning the teleological feedback loop of capital and its effects on the proletariat. We also explore the exciting realm of cybernetic planning and the potential role of LLMs in such systems. Finally, we reflect on the concepts of agency, alienation, class dynamics, and the implications of capitalism on social reproduction. This rich and riveting conversation with Mark Rainey is not to be missed! Support the showCrew:Host: C.

Das Viable System Model (VSM) ist ein Modell, das die Organisation und die Steuerung von Systemen beschreibt. Das Modell wurde von Stafford Beer entwickelt und ist ein Instrument zur Diagnose, Entwicklung und Verwaltung von komplexen Systemen. Das VSM besteht aus fünf Subsystemen, die miteinander interagieren, um ein effektives und effizientes System zu schaffen. Das System beinhaltet das operative System (System 1), das Management-System (System 2), das Koordinationssystem (System 3), das strategische System (System 4) und das System zur Überwachung und Steuerung (System 5). In diesem Podcast wird Mark Lambertz das Modell erklären und erste praktische Einblicke liefern, wie VSM bei Bosch in Stuttgart angewendet wird.

Trevor Hilder is an IT expert and cybernetics specialist who worked under Stafford Beer to develop the Viable System Model. Trevor joins me to explain how systems malfunction, why organisations crumble under complexity, and how to build resilient systems by infusing them with values. He explains the Viable System Model, walking us through the key components based on cybernetics and management theory.We discuss the universal laws of organising and how to apply the VSM to the climate crisis, politics and globalisation. Trevor also teaches the Viable System Model to organisations and individuals.

How can we, as sovereign World Citizens Govern our World? In 1993, Garry Davis, operating on behalf of world citizens, engaged organizational cybernetics pioneer Stafford Beer to join him in developing and testing an interactive system for ordinary people to have a real voice in governing spaceship Earth. Come hear about their early experiments and how we can now use the Syntegrity process and protocol to co-create whole system solutions to the Core Questions on Humanity's Table: How can world citizens evolve world law to: --to avoid a world war? --prevent ecocide to ensure a healthy planetary civilization? --engage in implementing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Presenters: Dr. David Beatty is the World Syntegrity Project Co-ordinator and a Founding Member of Team Syntegrity International. He was a Research Director of Individual and Organizational Learning at the Unesco Centre for Water Education, Netherlands. Dr. Allenna Leonard, former president of the American Society for Cybernetics and the International Society for the Systems Sciences, is an American cyberneticist and Director of Cwarel Isaf Institute specializing in the application of Stafford Beer's Viable System Model and Team Syntegrity Process. David Gallup is the President of the World Service Authority which carries on the work of Garry Davis. -- See the video at: www.theworldismycountry.com/club -- Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.

Cybernetics is broadly defined as the study of control and communications, with a special emphasis on feedback-based systems. Put another way: cybernetics is the study of the flow of data. Predating computer science by decades, cybernetics offers up an interesting view of computing. But of course, there's a lot more to the picture than just computers. This episode we are looking at Project Cybersyn, an attempt to automate Chile's economy via cybernetics. To talk about this specific case we are going to dive deep into the history of cybernetics itself.

Technocratic democracy: Government designs for action shall be disciplined through their vetting.We often hear that politicians are essentially sales staff - but there are implications of this, if we extend the metaphor. They are not the engineers. They don't really understand what they are selling, they're just playing for the team. And if we were to imagine that someone did really understand, we would be a bit naïve. But clearly things - all kinds of things - would work a lot better if the question of how laws and regulations, or indeed overall missions, designs for action, were to be implemented - they would work better if this question was interrogated from the outset. As things stand, at least in the UK, any such evaluation is entirely optional, and normally ignored. Again, the spewing of 150 items per ministry per week should shock us into attention to the sheer dysfunction of our system, and the volume of wastage. What this principle does is, in effect, to paraphrase the famous designer, Dieter Rams: Less, but better. And not only that, but to make it enforceable. And this is where the separation of powers comes in to play - a second chamber can take the Executive's wild if well-intentioned hallucinations of the glorious future, interrogate them and reconstruct them as workable programmes. In this episode, we look in detail at an eight-step vetting process devised by Ed and his co-author, Ray Ison, that would ensure that any designs that a government might have for action would align with the overall ethos of bringing about beneficial change.Talking points:Using expertise within a democratic structure...as a check on the executiveThe PR basis of political activityThere's nothing to ensure that learning is appliedEvaluations do not typically challenge the systemMoney gets creamed off, culture of graftCommercial due diligence as a modelNorman Strauss: ethosThe 8 Tests: Framing, Purpose, Engagement and Stakeholder, Insider, Other Countries, Systems Thinking, Capability, ValueSome systems have a more conducive ethosSingapore - decisions treeNew Zealand - other forms of CapitalLinks:Norman Strausshttps://normanstrauss.wordpress.com/tag/norman-strauss/Stafford Beer: “Rules come from System 5: not so much by stating them firmly, as by creating a corporate ethos – an atmosphere”The inside and now, the outside and then:Systems 1, 2 and 3 between them make up the internal environment of the viable system – the Inside and Now. The autonomous parts function in a harmonising internal environment which maximises its effectiveness through creating mutually supportive relationships.System 4 is concerned with the Outside and Then.

Durch die Globalisierung, Digitalisierung und neue Formen der Zusammenarbeit hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten in den meisten Branchen und Unternehmen eine erhöhte Marktdynamik entwickeln. Diese wird im Allgemeinen auch als Steigerung der Komplexität beim Lösen der Kundenprobleme bezeichnet. Welche Denkwerkzeuge helfen beim Reflektieren der Arbeitswelt? Conny Dethloff ist Mathematiker, der nach Erfahrungen in der Beraterwelt seit vielen Jahren bei Otto wertvolle Impulse für das Entdecken von neuen Formen der Zusammenarbeit geben konnte. Im Gespräch mit Kurswechsler Frank Wulfes erläutert Conny welche Denkwerkzeuge ihm und den Kollegen bei Otto geholfen haben, um die wertschöpfende Arbeit neu zu organisieren. Wertströme und Systemtheorie als Basis der neuen Arbeit Durch das konsequente Fokussieren der Kunden in der täglichen Arbeit und durch die organisatorische Ausrichtung an den Wertströmen, kann es Unternehmen gelingen, die Anpassungsfähigkeit und Innovationskraft deutlich zu steigern. Außerdem helfen theoretische Grundlagen aus der Systemtheorie – hier im Gespräch wird das Viable System Model von Stafford Beer kurz erläutert – den richtigen Weg beim Definieren der Aufbauorganisation zu finden.

It would be difficult to argue against Stafford Beer’s Project Cybersyn as the most bold and audacious chapter in the history of cybernetics.  In the early 70’s, at the invitation of leftist president, Salvador Allende, the “father of management cybernetics” (as Norbert Wiener christened Beer) attempted nothing less than the development and implementation of a cybernetic governance system for Chile’s nationalized economy.  For decades, we have relied solely on the writings of Beer and his associates for accounts of this amazing techno-political adventure but, thanks to Eden Medina’s Cybernetic Revolutionaries: Technology and Politics in Allende’s Chile, from the MIT press (originally published in 2011 and out in softcover in 2014), we now have a deeply researched scholarly investigation of this extraordinary historical moment in which Beer’s cybernetic Viable System Model was positioned as a tool to enable radical socialist transformation while remaining within Chile’s constitutional democratic framework.  Medina deftly guides us through this astonishing odyssey as the utopian visionary Beer and his brilliant and inspired team of local collaborators, facing an invisible US led economic and technological blockade, craft a real-time communications network stretching the entire length of Chile out of two mainframe computers and a warehouse full of unused telex machines and which proves its mettle in response to a wildly disruptive US funded national truck drivers strike.  Along the way, we meet a colorful cast of characters including doctor turned Marxist lightning rod, Salvador Allende, wily young political operator and future Silicon valley innovator, Fernando Flores, and of course, the wildly charismatic business guru turned leftist, new age quasi-mystic, Stafford Beer; all wrestling with the struggle to keep their emancipatory egalitarian project of distributed decision making and control from tipping over into centralized technocracy as the entire Chilean socialist project teeters towards its brutal and tragic ending.  Seamlessly blending compelling storytelling and astute technological, political, and cultural analysis, Medina’s book stands as a penetrating look at an under-theorized political experiment and a detailed summary of its still hotly debated legacy.
