Nemetics: What is Complexity Science?

1.Many diverse elements

2. Interactions

3. Interdependence

4. Adaptation

5. Simple Generative Rules create Emergence

Complexity Science – Maths + Science + Model

Nemetics: What is Emergence?

Inclusive Leadership: Emergent Praxis

Nemetics

Resonant

Products & Failures:So many interconnected, interdependent & diverse elements in a production system produce both products and the failures = Emergences.

These are produced by the intricacies of innumerable interactions with underlying rules and the paradoxes against which we are constantly adapting.

Hence from the viewpoint of Emergence there is hardly any difference between Maintenance & Operation or any Other Functions in the Organization. Embracing unpredictability is the only option.

Why Models?

Inclusive Leadership: Emergent Praxis

Nemetics

Resonant

1. Intelligent Citizen of the World

2. Clear Thinking

3. Understand & Use Data

4. Decide, Strategize & Design

Why Models?

Inclusive Leadership: Emergent Praxis

Nemetics

Resonant

1. Initial State Does Not Matter

2. History Does Not Matter

3. Intervention to Change States Does not Matter

4. States are in dynamic equilibrium (statistically)

Markov Model – What is possible?

Inclusive Leadership: Emergent Praxis

Nemetics

Resonant

1. Changing State is a temporary measure

3. Done by Adaptation, Creation, Destruction and Building up

2. Changing Transition Probabilities -> Leads to permanent change
