Motivation:
Complex systems consist of thousands of engineering decisions that are made to meet the needs of stakeholders. In order to create systems, it is necessary to use “systemic thinking”, where “systemic thinking consists of observing the relationships (instead of unrelated elements), connections, process (in thend the structure), the whole (instead of just the parts), and the patterns (instead of the content) of systems and their contexts” (R. Ackoff with H. Addison and A. Carey, Systems Thinking for Curious Managers, Triarchy Press, 2010).
Teaching Philosophy:
“A goal of education is to assist growth toward greater complexity and integration and to assist in the process of self-organization - to modify individuals’ capacity to modify themselves”
Reuven Feuerstein
