PublicationGovernance for intelligent organizations: a cybernetic contributionPurpose – This paper aims to revisit the viable system model (VSM) discussing it from both the theoreticaland the empirical standpoints, and ascertaining its relevance for organizational governance. Design/methodology/approach – A combination of theoretical and empirical components is used: introduction to theory and critique on the one hand; case studies and a large sample empirical study on the other. Findings – The VSM has proved to be a powerful means of governance for organizations in turbulent times. It conveys a durable, reliable knowledge. This has been corroborated in both case studies and a large-scale empirical study. Practical implications – Application of the model under study can activate a huge potential for the improvement of organizations. Originality/value – This contribution tests the VSM in an unseen fashion – qualitatively and quantitatively. The results suggest that a high confidence in the model is justified. It conveys to managers and leaders an unconventional, superior approach to both diagnosis and design of their organizations.Type: journal articleJournal: Kybernetes

PublicationSystemic design for sustainabilityHow can we restore the ecological balance of our planet? The present article is aimed at contributing a structural Framework for such a restoration. In the quest for ecological recovery, cybernetic–systemic approaches are in demand. They specialize in coping with complexity and offer new, transdisciplinary and non-reductionist ways of system design for renewing sustainability. This contribution uses a proven model from organizational cybernetics—the viable system odel—as a frame for sustainable development. The model specifies how the viability of any human or social system can be achieved by means of clearly defined organizational structures. In accord with the logic of recursive organization inherent in the model, a proposal for a structural design aimed at enabling ecological recovery is formulated. That design includes all organizational levels of recursion, from individual to world. The implications of such a novel approach are far-reaching, and the impact powerful.Type: journal articleJournal: Sustainability Science
