4. “Every Design is either an
element of a system or a system
itself and is part of ensuing
casual entanglements”
(Nelson and Stoleterman, 2012)

5. A system is a group of elements that are interconnected and
interact with each other in which changing one part of the system
affects other parts and the whole system, with predictable patterns of
behavior.
What is a System?
9. World 1
the real physical world (where our “real systems”
exist)
World 2
the world of individual thought, which is how each
one of us perceived the world
– our “mental models” are in World 2;
World 3
the world of shared (and by implication,
documented) knowledge; both our “informal
shared models” and “formal shared models” belong
in World 3.
10. 1) an integrated set of elements, subsystems, and assemblies that
accomplish a defined objective. These elements include products (hardware,
software, firmware), processes, people, information, techniques, facilities,
services, and other support elements. (INCOSE)
2) combination of interacting elements organized to achieve one or more
stated purposes (ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288).
What is a
System?
12. A system can be embedded in a system, that is embedded in yet
another system.
Systems are
• a web of things
• made of smaller components/ parts
Behavior of System
• Each part has a unique behavior
• But when together they behave differently
The system
Lens
15. “A system is an interconnected set of elements that is
coherently organized in a way that achieves some function or
purpose.
CONCLUSION
16. Assignment 01-

Elements: What are the core elements in the
system?
Interconnections:
How are the elements
connected? What are the
relationships?
What are their inputs and outputs?
Purpose:
What does this achieve?
17. A systems map (or diagram) shows the components and boundaries of
a system at a point in time. Systems mapping provides the user with
the ability to explore complex systems, communicate understanding,
and allow for the identification of knowledge gaps, intervention points,
and insights.
What is
System
Mapping?
18. Systems thinking is a holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the
way “how elements in a system are interrelated?” and “How
does this interconnectedness of different elements synthesize
to create a new effect in the system over time?”
• Elements: What are the core elements in the system?
• Interconnections: How are the elements connected? What
are the relationships? What are their inputs and outputs?
• Purpose: What does this achieve?
What is
System
Thinking?
20. Fixating on a system's parts prevents us from seeing the whole.
Systems Perspective
21. ELEMENTS: Players, Coach, Field, Ball, Goalpost
INTERCONNECTIONS: Rules of the game, player strategy, coach's strategy, players' collaborations, the
law of physics governing the ball and players.
PURPOSE:
Brain storming - FOOTBALL TEAM
22. Now, what if I tell you in the middle of the match that it has to be played like CRICKET?
I change the rules?
What will happen?
23. • Chaos
• Panic
• The strategy that you planned will not work, a new game
plan is needed
RESULT
You will now start thinking in a non-linear direction
instead of a linear one.
