Conclusions on SSM

This is a Placeholder

Consider each of the (5) tenets of SSM that Checkland (2001) describes:

  1. SSM is a process of management and process management.
  2. SSM assumes that individuals and groups are autonomous, leading to different evaluations and actions.
  3. Consciously articulating the process will be helpful.
  4. Any logically linked set of activities constitutes a whole human activity system.
  5. SSM learns by comparing pure models of purposeful activity with perceptions of what is going on in a real-world scenario.

Exploring the Transformations as a state transfer suggests that this is not a clear translation of transformation.

For this project, we placed guardrails around how we operate under Z (zeitgeist).
