@@mounirkebir4389 Thanks for asking. If you're still looking, his books "Idealized Design" and "On Purposeful Systems" are where I suggest you start. He also co-wrote a book on education: "Turning Learning Right Side Up"

Minutes 1:11:38 he talks about a female philosopher and says: “A remarkable lady, remarkable because firstly she was a lady, secondly because she was a professor of philosophy!” This sounds deeply misogynistic to me! That is, he does not expect a woman to be a philosopher.
It is remarkable, if you've ever heard him describe the very school/teaching system 😂 It's all a club, especially in the "professor" echelon. It's pretty radical she would've been in the club... definitely markable atleast
31:30 Now we know that the appendix serves a purpose: It provides a repository of gut bacteria, so that if during illness or poisoning the rest of the gut microflora is disrupted, then they can be replaced. So I guess it becomes a part of the whole... and somebody needs to come up with a new name.
Interesting how Einstein is not mentioned... Ackoff probably imagined what the MIND of Cybernetics would be... but probably never thought of internet and google..
Ackoff is brilliant with his powerful explanations, such as: What happens to any age is the appearance of dilemmas - problems that challenge the validity of the current world view and cannot be solved within it. Such was the case during the Middle Ages - hence, the Renaissance. In our case, we are experiencing a shift from the Machine Age to the Systems Age.
2:00 shared perspective more fragmented than ever in this age , with advent of information sharing . Perspective comes from the information you encounter. Before you would encounter way more limited range of information , so less range of perspective But on the upside gives more transformation potential

Thank you, Renato, I will add markers to the video and delete the last 24 minutes.
One of the most brilliant talks on systems thinking that I have come across. thank you for sharing
Ackoff was a true philosopher at heart who changed how world is viewed !
The Einstein of problem solving. My friend and mentor for ten years.
What book of him do you suggest to read in order to synthesize this lecture. Thanks
Lucky and Fortunate You
@Robyn Maden I’m looking too! We should make a playlist

This is a VERY good lecture. His ability SYNTHESIS is profound.
Got to hear every single of his talks many times.
Superb. Clarifying. Distilling. Relevant.
Very insightful lecture. Must listen 👂 for all involved in large system design and sustenance.
This is one excellent teacher!
Wow! Ultimate conceptual clarity for understanding the human made possibilities to live with complexity of muscle and mind usage.
I wish this channel posted more videos.
Shook me to the bone.. by his genius ! Wow !
Thanks for posting this friend
Thanks for sharing. ❤
Anyone who likes this should read about spiral dynamics
Yeah Spiral dynamics , Integral theory is a must
Absolutely brilliant
I had no idea what i was getting into, and i'm loving it.
I m damn sure there must be several other videos on systems thinking, put them all on your channel.
Excellent!!!!!!
Interestingly, the synergistic properties of system parts is by definition beyond the analysis of it parts.
Like a Gestalt

Systems Thinking:- "STSP"
Peter Checkland mentions you often:
why not you him ?
Einstein rotates in his grave anxiously
46:35 1 Cor 12:12-27
Aha.....God creation contextualization and view of world

An interesting reductionist talk against reductionism.
How is it reductionist?
Ackoff is so over-rated. Such dumb BS!
How easily people accept his sarcastic view of human progress is sad and hilarious at the same time.
Minutes 1:11:38 he talks about a female philosopher and says:
“A remarkable lady, remarkable because firstly she was a lady, secondly because she was a professor of philosophy!”
This sounds deeply misogynistic to me!
That is, he does not expect a woman to be a philosopher.
I interpret it as him saying being a lady is a remarkable thing in itself, so the complete opposite of that.
It is remarkable, if you've ever heard him describe the very school/teaching system 😂
It's all a club, especially in the "professor" echelon. It's pretty radical she would've been in the club... definitely markable atleast
1:12:49 the AI era is based on this
Thought about this too

What an amazing talk.
Such an amazing lecture. So many interesting concepts talked so lucidly --- changes your point of view
Ackoff is brilliant with his powerful explanations, such as:

Check out Spiral Dynamics
Well put😊
GENIO
Excellent talk, shows how to mesh ideas into a story to make it compelling.
2:00 shared perspective more fragmented than ever in this age , with advent of information sharing . Perspective comes from the information you encounter. Before you would encounter way more limited range of information , so less range of perspective

This is like finding buried treasure. Outstanding lecture x
