Control systems are defined as systems with feedback, i.e. in which part of the output variable is fed back to the input either directly or in modified form. In the technical field, the term “control” is defined according to DIN 19226 as follows: “Control is a process in which a variable, the controlled variable (in …
If feedback signals act in a so-called positive feedback process, the output variable of the system moves in the same direction with each control process. This can lead to effects that either reinforce or reduce the output variable of the system more and more. Many systems in business are designed according to this reinforcing or …
If the feedback signal triggers a negative feedback process, it can lead to counter-control or counter-coupling and to a state of equilibrium. This disturbance-compensating damper or absorber principle leads to stability. Example: If you are driving a car equipped with an antilock braking system (ABS) and you want to brake to the maximum, you step …
You need a change of perspective. Don’t see organizations as self-contained constructs, but rather as open, breathing, and constantly reshaping, dynamic structures whose elements have a regulating effect through their relationships to one another. If you look beyond the narrower boundaries, you can better grasp and exploit the potential that natural regulatory systems hold. In …
In complex and dynamic environments, a high degree of adaptability is required. Unfortunately, organizations are often too sluggish to react quickly and effectively to changes in the environment. In the animal kingdom, we observe a considerably faster and consistent response of entire swarms to impulses. Swarms move like a unified organism. None of the animals …
The way in which are made in organisations has a significant influence on the stability of the organisations. An appropriate is required for competent decisions.
What is sustainability? If it is possible to satisfy the needs of the present in such a way that the opportunities of future generations are not restricted, this is sustainable behavior. We can speak of sustainability when this principle is realized in three dimensions: with economic efficiency, with social justice and with ecological sustainability. The …
The Osborn checklist provides suggestions for critically questioning existing things by consciously changing individual properties. By changing various properties in different ways, what has been modified appears completely alienated to the observers. In looking at this modified version, they can then ask themselves what other object corresponds to this “modified existence” and how in that …
The “SCAMPER” method presented by Bob Eberle in 1997 follows the Osborn checklist. It suggests several steps: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put (to other uses), Eliminate, and Reverse.
In order to identify the causes of problems and to initiate targeted measures to remedy the problems, causality relationships are examined, which are represented in cause-and-effect diagrams according to Kaoru Ishikawa. These representations may be a good aid for non-complex problems; however, cause-and-effect diagrams are not suitable for complex problems because the influencing variables can …
