The organization viewed as SYSTEM
System
So, in a defined area, consists of:
- components, or subsystems members
- Common Purpose
- Frontier system with its environment (subjective depending on the limit of our study)
A living being is a good example of the system. Components organs, cells. Their common purpose: to survive.
An orchestra is another great example of a system. Its members are musicians and their director, the purpose is the piece that has to please his audience. If all musicians want to be actors lack the proper harmony that is achieved with the cooperation of all coordinated by its director.
A business organization is a system must have a clear purpose and clear, known by all its members . As the orchestra common purpose should prevail over individual virtuosity.
Unlike a flow chart only shows the hierarchy of an organization, the assessment of an organization as a real system the interrelationship among all its parts and its border. The effect of some components in the other.
A system should be directed, managed, left unaddressed, real in the Western world, members of an enterprise system become selfish, independent, competitive. Managed the system itself is aimed at the destruction.
direct, manage organizational system involves:
- knowledge to understand the interplay between all components.
- promote cooperation to achieve the purpose of system, ensuring that all individual efforts are aligned with the purpose of the system.
- Clarify the purpose all components and specific contribution to it.
If the address of the organizational system could not ensure that the efforts of all members of the system is directed to achieving the common purpose, if it fails to prevent domestic competitiveness members depart to common purpose, will have planted the seeds of destruction of the system.
The scope of the system should include all parties affected by its existence depending on the design, management, departments, employees, unions, shareholders, partners, customers, suppliers ,....
The common purpose of the system:
- The purpose is a single decision be delegated to senior management . In fact, the business purpose precedes the organization. How could if employees choose not suitable?
- The purpose should include the future of . Do not leave the fate of the system at random. This involves training components and leaders but also keep under review the changing environment.
- Only the best results are achieved if the purpose of ensuring that its achievement everyone wins.
- A system must create something of value, results.
Systems Thinking (PS)
"A system is an entity that owes its existence to the mutual interaction of its parts" - General Systems Theory "by Ludwig von Bertalanffy
Thinking in terms of system," Systems Thinking "or" PS: Systemic thinking allows us to better understand the world around us through the interrelations of its components and therefore have better control of it. PS
A model of reality in these terms will give us an approximation of it to help determine the effect on all of our actions in some or some of its parts. But a model is always different from reality, only an approximation.
With PS any decision to change can be analyzed as a whole and consider the possible side effects . Although the experiments only allow us to confirm the degree of success, reduce uncertainty, reduce risk.
generation system
A system is a living entity: it is born, grows and evolves. You can also die. A company was born with an idea, a purpose.
Idea (Purpose) ==> System Plan ==> Members ==> Results ==> Repeat
permanent improvement of the circuit.
