The Fractal Organisation Manual: How to diagnose & design organisations using the Viable System Model
In a world of increasing turbulence, the need has never been greater for knowing how to build systems capable of maintaining their viability when all around them is change. This is a follow up to the Fractal Organization published by Wiley almost twenty years ago. It provides practical guidance ...

How Complex Systems Fail
All of the interesting systems (e.g. transportation, healthcare, power generation) are inherently and unavoidably hazardous by the own nature. The frequency of hazard exposure can sometimes be changed but the processes involved in the system are themselves intrinsically and irreducibly hazardous. It is the presence of these hazards that drives the creation of defenses against hazard that characterize these systems.
Leverage Points: Places to Intervene in a System
By Donella Meadows~ Folks who do systems analysis have a great belief in “leverage points.” These are places within a complex system (a corporation, an economy, a living body, a city, an ecosystem) where a small shift in one thing can produce big changes in everything. This idea is not unique to systems analysis — […]

Why Distributed Systems Are Hard to Develop — and How to Fix It
Here’s what’s missing when developing distributed systems today: Structure. Consistent, codified structure.
The VSM Test & Guide | SCiO - Systems and Complexity in Organisation
Links are to the VSM basic test and the VSM advanced test.Aim of the guide: This VSM guide serves as a quick and practical resource for understanding and applying the Viable System Model in organizational analysis and design. It should help to spread the powerful knowledge of management cybernetics.
