- About
The presence of intelligent tools, both in the digital and physical realms, is progressively enhancing our capacities to act on personal, organizational, national, and international levels, leading to both intended and unintended consequences. Collectively, these changes are reshaping our world at a speed and scale that necessitate earnest consideration. In the midst of uncertainty, the development and utilization of these new capabilities would greatly benefit from CyberSystemic approaches and methods of learning.
The book drives readers to adopt a different - CyberSystemic approach, moving beyond perceiving individuals merely as subjects or consumers to recognizing them as citizens. This shift implies an active role in constructing organizations and social policies as conversational networks wherein individuals collectively contribute to the formulation of purposes and products. The editors put forward concepts and examples that illuminate and exemplify these perspectives on citizenship in organizational and social contexts.
Readers will discover several conceptual frameworks and usage cases of CyberSystemic methodologies in various fields, providing the first look at the latest development of the grey methodology and the AI relation to individuals and governance and will provide the first discussion on the General Interactions theory.
