Systems are everywhere and affect us daily in our private and
professional lives. We all use the word "system" to describe
something that is essential but often abstract, complex and even
mysterious. However, learning to utilize system concepts as first
class objects as well as methodologies for systems thinking and
systems engineering provides a basis for removing the mystery and
moving towards mastery even for complex systems. This journey
through the Systems Landscape has been developed to promote
learning to "think" and "act" in terms of systems. A unique aspect
is the introduction of concrete system semantics provided as a
"system survival kit" and based upon a limited number of concepts
and principles as well as a mental model called the system-coupling
diagram. This discipline independent presentation assists
individuals and is essential for building a learning organization
that can utilize a systems approach to achieving its enterprise
goals. The eight chapters are presented as stops along a journey
that successively build system knowledge. Each chapter terminates
with a Knowledge Verification section that provides questions and
exercises for individuals and groups. Case studies reflecting the
utilization of the system related concepts, principles and
methodologies are provided as chapter interludes.
