Keys to Managing Large Scale System Projects


Hosted by: Captain Kevin M. Smith (U.S. Navy (Ret.), USA)
Date: April 14, 2016
Time: 2:00 pm (EST)

Session 1: Understanding the Characteristics of Large Scale Systems and the Dynamics of Complexity

Large scale dynamic systems are increasingly common in our modern industrial world and include such entities as modern economies, transportation systems, military task forces, high performance aircraft, manned space transportation systems...and the list goes on. Such systems are important because they can do things that otherwise cannot be done. But this desirable capability come with a price, not least is the challenge of complexity—and this challenge is considerable due to very high levels of complexity that could be encountered, often resulting in confusion, miss-direction, and even system failure, which many have noticed is occurring with increasing tendency. Future sessions will include performance optimization concepts, employment challenges, knowledge fusion and catastrophe prediction.

Captain Kevin M. Smith is a noted Author, Speaker, Naval Aviator and recognized expert in Critical Thinking and Large Scale Adaptive Systems.
