This cluster teaches foundations of systems thinking and complexity theory for designers, leaders, and technical teams.
Defines concepts for identifying system context and boundaries, including separation of internal versus external elements, interaction dynamics, feedbacks, temporal and spatial scales, system states, nonlinear effects, relevant interfaces and boundary variations. Specifies formal criteria for delimiting system scope and guidance for model boundary definition. Excludes implementation guides, technical architecture specifications and tool configurations.
A context diagram shows a system as a single box with external actors and interfaces to clearly communicate scope and boundaries.
Concept for clearly delimiting a system from its environment.
