Thema: Sociotechnical Systems

In my lifetime, we’ve experienced the equivalent of 20,000 years of change. Nonlinear change. We’re the architects of change, yet we seem to do the same things again and again, expecting different results. Digital information systems have a staggering effect on relational complexity. Yet, we still approach software development in a mechanistic, industrial & reductionistic way. To design information systems, we need to think in systems. Don’t just adopt Kubernetes, change the structure of your thinking. As Robert Pirsig said, “If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory.”
What’s “the rationality that produced” our current approaches? What are the 4 mindshifts that will thrive in the system's age?
