SUMMARY:VSM & Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Harwood \nTechnology is Janus-faced with it having both a good and a dark side\, this highlighting the ethics domain. This has implications for the implementation of technology in general. Extending the notion of technology implementation as one form of managed change\, these implications extend to how we handle change\, especially change in complex situations. More

SUMMARY:Organizing success critical tasks in a production plant with the Viable System Model
DESCRIPTION:A Practice Application of VSM \nJudith Hennemann \nThe talk will give insights in process and results of a 2-day-workshop in one of our production plants.\nIn my presentation\, I will focus on the methodology of the workshop in the first place\, especially with regards to alternating VSM teaching and application phases during the workshop.\nI will also explain how we met challenges that occurred during the analysis. \nThe request to the facilitator was  – based on the strategic relevance and a variety of difficult conditions for the plant  – to define crucial roles that ensure a resilient setup of this production plant.\nThe concept needed to be scalable to similar plants in our global setting. A cross functional project had already been launched in order to support the performance of the plant.\nThe plant in focus is embedded in a complex matrix of regional\, technical and functional structures and requirements.\nYou will see how the nesting of the organization made it difficult to identify the boundaries of the System in Focus\, and how flexible usage of recursion levels helped us to avoid paralysis by analysis. \nI will walk you through three major steps of our workshop: \n\nFirst\, the check of organizational setup and manageability of the operations.\nSecond\, the collection of challenges that the operations and their management are facing\, including environmental influences and dependencies between operations.\nThird\, the definition of corresponding roles\, competencies and practices to ensure a stable and resilient operation of the plant.\n\nYou will take away my recommendation for templates from the VSM Coach training and on visualization and communication of the results to the senior management\, and general lessons learned.\nPlease understand that I “blurred” all the specific results. This is about the process\, not the results.\nI am looking forward to our discussion.
