“…As part of our intervention, we will try to identify how the principles, concepts and methodology Bogdanov proposed could apply to the development of the systems paradigm into the future. We will be doing this in the form of a dialogue with the contemporary literature, focusing on those contributions that have sought to systematize the field (e.g., Mobus & Kalton, 2015; Minati et al, 2016; Rousseau et al, 2018; Jackson, 2019; Cabrera et al, 2023a, 2023b).…”

“…There has therefore been a certain degree of fragmentation within the broader systems field since the 1950s. As a consequence, the unity of the systems paradigm itself has become the priority problem to tackle, on the way to realizing the unity of science (Midgley, 1992a, 1992b, 1996, 2001; Mobus and Kalton, 2015; Rousseau et al, 2018; Cabrera et al, 2023a, 2023b).…”

In this paper, we propose a research agenda to support the recovery of Alexander Bogdanov's philosophical and systemic thinking that culminated in his magnum opus, Tektology. Our main reason for doing so is to re‐address enduring questions about the unity of science and the unity of the systems paradigm. Since the turn of the new millennium, there has been renewed interest in the ideal of the unity of science. General system theory (GST), cybernetics and complexity science are three significant intellectual sources inspiring this renewal. It is not unusual for these ideas to be grouped under the umbrella terms systems science or systems thinking, which are two ways to present a single systems paradigm, and we will explain why its “unity” is both necessary and problematic. Bringing Bogdanov's work back to address the unity question can help us to progress toward unity in diversity.

“…Learning is foundational to every organization, as the organization's capacity and mission should always and continuously be informed by learning. Leaders should ensure that organizational learning occurs constantly and build a culture in which organizational members are aware of and utilize this innate, ongoing function at all times [26]. Leaders must promote learning by individuals and groups as a way to institutionalize the building, sharing, capturing, and dissemination of learning organization-wide.…”

This paper explores how the fundamental structure of organizations (Vision, Mission, Capacity, and Learning, or VMCL) can assist agile organizations with adaptive leadership. Through learning the four functions of the VMCL theory, this paper will also explore how organizations can utilize the ideas of complex adaptive systems, POSIWID, feedback and how structure drives behavior. Using a case study on the systematic failure of Wells Fargo, this paper will demonstrate a real-world example of applying VMCL to improve the systems within organizations.

“…Understanding that DSRP provides simple rules for systems thinking, that mental models are comprised of information and DSRP structure, and that one must constantly iterate mental models by exposing them to the real-world in order to receive feedback and consequently adjust mental models. A thorough review of DSRP is provided by other resources [15,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. However, we offer the following executive primer of the ST/DSRP Loop.…”

In this chapter, we provide the basis for why a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) approach is critically important to solving problems. As a naturalistic reality, a theoretical framework, or a heuristic device, CAS is a powerful tool. Agent Based Modeling (ABM), too, can be a powerful way to discreetly model a CAS understanding of phenomena. When ABM can be used, it is a powerful tool. However, ABM has drawbacks that make it an infeasible method some of the time. These drawbacks should not preclude us from using CAS as an alternative, ‘mixed,’ ‘qualitative,’ or ‘heuristic’ method. For this reason, we have outlined a new approach—the Agent Based Approach or ABA—which can be used the majority of the time when CAS analysis is indicated. ABA was developed by Drs. Derek and Laura Cabrera at Cornell University with an expressed focus on the analyses of CASs leading to specific policy recommendations, although it is quite possible that many aspects of ABA can be applied outside of a policy context. This is especially true in light of more nuanced and expanded definitions of ‘policy’ and/or ‘policy analyst.’ Where one might think of ‘a policy’ as a statement or document presented in a legislative, legal, or bureaucratic context, we promote that an understanding of CAS means that a ‘policy’ is simply a set of guidelines for understanding how agent action (the following of simple rules) will affect emergent properties. In other words, policy can be defined as “a statement of the simple interaction rules that one predicts will lead to desired systemic change.” In this regard, ‘a policy’ is something any person might utilize anywhere, not merely something a policy analyst in the halls of Congress might use. To understand and effect change on any CAS—even if the CAS is your family, your classroom, your team, your organization, the state or federal system, or a global crisis—requires you understand the system, to identify the types of actions that can be taken to alter it, and then codify those generalizable actions into specific recommendations. The steps to doing this are the same regardless of the venue or scale. The degree, scale, resources available, timeline, stakeholders, and relative complexity may change, but the basic process does not. In other words, policy analysis is a fractal pattern and ‘the analysis of policy’ is for everyone (i.e., not limited to legislative personnel). Therefore, ABA is a tool that anyone can use, and is well-suited for the formally trained policy analyst. ABA provides another tool in the systems scientist’s tool belt and is an invaluable means by which policy students or scientists can better understand and effect complex adaptive systems.
