Systems Intelligence




A systems intelligent person, group or an organization

  • sees the whole world around themselves be made of a complex web of interacting systems

  • engages themselves into the Holistic feedback mechanism of the environment and evokes productivity and success in their task

  • sees the environment as feedback intensive, and manages to act intelligently in it

  • interacts with the environment in a way that makes minor corrections in the systems, generating huge effects due to the Nonlinearity of the system



ORIGINS OF SYSTEMS INTELLIGENCE


The concept was formulated in the Laboratory of Systems Analysis at the Helsinki University Of Technology , Finland, fall 2002. The authors of the first publications on SI were professors Raimo P. Hämäläinen and Esa Saarinen . In spring 2006, numerous publications and three books have been written from this field, which by the influence of Hämäläinen and Saarinen, applies an Open Source spirit, or Socratic accessible-to-all-philosophy, to further the field of SI research. The original authors allow students and scholars contribute to the field in various seminars and interdisciplinary research groups to bring intuition and experience from various aspects of life.


INFLUENTIAL WORK


Systems intelligence follows from the revolutionary research conducted by Peter Senge in the field of Systems Thinking . Other works strongly referred to in the SI research are authors ranging from Howard Gardner to Herbert Simon to Marcial Losada . The following research areas have influenced and been referred to in the SI research:



APPLICATION AREAS


A lot of the tacit knowledge gathered up to SI research comes from real world applications, such as Management Consulting and Pedagogics . Since systems intelligence is application intensive in nature, one of it's main missions is to connect the best practices of various, seemingly nonrelated fields, into one scientifically solid theory. The following fields can benefit from SI research:

  • planning organizational reward and incentive systems

  • leadership of organizations and business teams

  • cultural aspects of organizational behaviour and super-productivity

  • Rationality in economics

  • philosophy of life
