Perceptions of complexity from the Holistic Thinking Perspectives (HTP) [3] indicate that there is a dichotomy on the subject of how to solve the problems associated with complex systems. While some authors opine the need for new tools and techniques to solve the problems, others show the same problems being remedied successfully. This paper examines the situation, discusses and resolves the dichotomy...
Wicked Problems are considered impossible to solve using the current problem-solving paradigm. The contribution of this paper is to dissolve the problem of solving Wicked Problems by introducing an alternative paradigm, namely considering Wicked Situations instead of Wicked Problems. This perspective change enables the extremely ill-structured problems in Wicked Situations to be converted to well-structured...
This paper fills a gap in the systems engineering and project management education literature by providing examples of: 1. The effect of desired and undesired emergent properties. 2. How the System Lifecycle (SLC) relates to the iterative problem-solving process. 3. The relationship between the “what's” and the “how's” of systems engineering. 4. How subsystem boundaries can change during system design...
This paper discusses the need for competent systems engineers, the differences between nine current ways of assessing competencies (competency models) and the difficulty of comparing the competency models due to the different ways each model groups the competencies. The paper then introduces a competency model maturity framework (CMMF) for benchmarking competency models of systems engineers. The paper...
