Collective intelligence, agency and resilience.

Following Berlin, we are working to create an interactive, participatory experience where presentations, workshops and opportunities to exchange ideas are nicely balanced.

This year’s conference will focus upon the way that Stafford Beer’s work affects our understanding of the broad theme of the conference (originally called: ‘Humans at risk? Applying the Viable System Model and Team Syntegrity for steering Towards Agency and Resilience in the Age of Alien Intelligence and Instability’).

Given the emerging contributions from participants, we have renamed the conference title as: ‘Collective intelligence, agency and resilience‘.

So far, the main themes confirmed for the conference are:

Theme 1. VSM meets AI for Navigating the Unpredictable – The Cybernetic Bridge: Managing identity through surprise.
Lead: Stephen Brewis

Theme 2. Organisational Resilience in Action: Enhancing Viability in Dynamic Systems. Lead: Ayham Fattoum

Theme 3: Developments of the Viable System Model and Team Syntegrity: incorporating innovation in science, methodology and applications. Lead: Allenna Leonard & Juliana Alves

We will also be running at least two workshops:

Workshop 1 : A Viable System Model (VSM)’s Master Class.
Lead: M Pfiffner, J. Perez-Rios (t.b.c.), A Espinosa

Workshop 2 : A Team Syntegrity (TS) experience,
Leads: A. Leonard & J Alves

We will be providing updates on the emergent themes, workshops and topics suggested by the participants.
