We present an approach to knowledge management supported by four systemic methodologies namely the total systems intervention (TSI), the strategic assumption surfacing and testing (SAST), the viable systems model (VSM) and the problem structuring methodology (PSM).
The composition of systemic methodologies can result in powerful multi-methodologies that effectively compensate complexity, combine different mental pictures and perspectives and handle diversity in a creative and innovative manner.
Making use of systemic methodologies, emphasis is given on the creation and the sustenance of knowledge coming from both the internal and the external business environment, instead of directly intervening to the operational characteristics of the modern enterprise.
Systemic design methodology describes that "what is designed" in terms of an object of design.
Research has been designed in a retrospective and observational way, with systemic review methodology based on publications from thesis, dissertations, monographs and papers in English, Portuguese and Spanish indexed in Pubmed, SciELO, Ebsco Host, Scopus and Cochrane databases, as well as specialized journals such as ASHA, Journal of Voice, Medline, CEFAC and Redalyc.
This paper examines the development of a systemic multi-methodology for knowledge management in virtual enterprises.
The article argues that DPSIR, whilst admittedly limited in its scope and approach can, if applied in a participatory and systemic multi-methodology, combine with other tools and help to create outcomes of value to local populations.
A systemic thermal design methodology is presented and applied to the design of the power cabinet in a megawatt level converter.
Instead, we use a systemic accident analysis methodology, based on the sociotechnical principle of understanding the real operating conditions in which accidents take place.
