Managing Complexity in the 21st Century Enterprise
Speaker: Dr. Wilson N.
Felder, Stevens Institute of Technology
Dr. Felder will show that the application of digital
processing to just about everything, including the smallest
and most mundane appliances and subsystems, is a
distinguishing feature of the information revolution. At the
other end of the spectrum, digitally smart subcomponents are
aggregated into systems, and those systems are in turn
aggregated into widespread networks characterized by the
constant and voluminous flow of data among component
systems. These networked digital systems-of-systems,
continuously evolving to new levels of complexity, require a
transformed engineering approach. Looking at systems at an
enterprise level leads to new approaches to the design,
development, and management of the extended enterprise,
including the application of architecture frameworks and
portfolio management techniques. At the same time, the need
for planning flexibility puts a premium on enlightened
leadership techniques to deal with the constantly changing
organizational context, availability of new technology, and
dynamically changing requirements that are the hallmarks of
the complex system world.
