Toward A Systems Thinking Maturity ModelStrawman v.2 by Jack Ring dba Innovation Management jring@amug.org jring@amug.org
Value Proposition • A Systems Thinking Maturity Model is proposed. • to classify the capabilities of SE practitioners, PSE’s, • to motivate PSE evolution to more effective levels. • Concerned with thinking styles and learning styles of PSE’s. • should not be confused with any process maturity model. • Expected to improve SE projects and Sys Realization projects as well as Operational Systems Effectiveness by 3X to 10X. • Based on research findings regarding the brain, the mind, knowledge production and utilization, dissolution of cultural inhibitors and the impact of semantic network technology. • This strawman version has seven levels of distinction across seven factors. • Must yet be subjected to vetting of its embedded knowledge claims. • This presentation seeks to motivate dialogue and trial usages toward that end. jring@amug.org

Systems Thinking Maturity Model, STMMstrawman version 0. Attendee: The ‘Cut and Paste’ SE 1. Intern: Student gaining supervised, situated experience 2. Apprentice: Learning by doing in a variety of situations 3. Practitioner: Engaged in reflective learning while doing 4. Mentor: Collaborating in reflective learning 5. Master: Educating the reflective practitioner 6. Fellow: Co-educating reflective practitioners jring@amug.org
Seven Key Attributes • Field of discourse: spectrum of useable knowledge. • Dimension: the variety in the situation, e.g., Situation Complexity Index, SCI. • Style: interpersonal, learning, risk aversion, etc. • Requisite Attitude: pessimist vs. optimist, future vs. past • Ethics: Quality, Productivity, Innovation: • EDAC: Error Detection and Correction behavior • Performance Improvement Potential, PIP: Ratio of Exemplar Worth to Subject Worth (c.f. “Engineering Worthy Performance” by Thomas Gilbert, HRD Press) jring@amug.org
0. Attendee • Field of discourse = not explicit • Dimension: 1 – 2 • Style: Reasoning (Analyze, Compare, • Classify, Evaluate, Synthesize) X (Induction and Deduction) • Requisite Attitude: Pessimism or Optimism • Ethics: • Quality = Close enough • Productivity = indifferent • Innovation = n/a • EDAC: typo’s • Performance Improvement Potential, PIP = > 16 jring@amug.org
1. InternAdvanced student gaining supervised, situated experience • Field of discourse = Engineering; solve stated problems by foreseeing ways of pragmatically applying technologies. • Dimensions: SCI: ≈ 50 • Style: Level 0 + symbolic representation and manipulation • Attitude: Optimism or Pessimism • Ethics: • Quality = Work passes acceptance tests • Productivity = Keep pace • Innovation = Self-assessed • EDAC: PSS characteristics vs. Requirements • Performance Improvement Potential, PIP = < 16 jring@amug.org
2. ApprenticeLearning by doing in a variety of situations • Field of discourse = Engineering, Adoption, Adaptation • Dimensions: SCI < 100 • Style: Level 1 + contrarian • Requisite Attitude: Optimism or Pessimism • Ethics: • Quality = Customer Satisfaction • Productivity = Keep pace • Innovation = Claims for PSS, Self-assessed for SE • EDAC: PSS properties vs. Requirements • Performance Improvement Potential, PIP = < 8 jring@amug.org
3. PractitionerEngaged in reflective learning while doing • Field of discourse = IDEAL of PS and PSS • Dimensions: SCI(PSS) < 200 • SCI(SE) < 100 • Style: Intuitive + Level 2 + Janusian • Requisite Attitude: Optimism • Ethics: • Quality = Pursuit of Zero defects regarding MOE’s • Productivity = Set the pace • Innovation = Measure for both PSS and SE • EDAC: Interpersonal style, LUC • Performance Improvement Potential, PIP = < 2 jring@amug.org
