Welcome to Systems Mess
Organizing the messiness of system building into useful concepts and heuristics
Learning
Use heuristics to inspire learning. Perform a situation assessment, make models and establish plans.
Shaping
Use heuristics to shape system behavior. In uncertain situations increase separation and adaptability. Increase integration and regulation when the situation is well understood.
Context Matching
Use heuristics to match actions to contexts. Apply focused heuristics for general, routine, complicated, or mess contexts.
Getting Things Done
Use heuristics to get things done. Leverage iteration, flow, and resilience heuristics to drive a project forward.
