Construction projects are faced with a challenge that must not be underestimated. These projects are increasingly becoming highly competitive, more complex, and difficult to manage. They become ‘wicked problems’, which are difficult to solve using traditional approaches. Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) is a systems approach that is used for analysis and problem solving in such complex and messy ...

This paper presents a pedagogical evaluation of the framework SDDD (Soft Domain Driven Design) which encourages a “soft systems” approach to Domain-Driven Design. The framework combines techniques from Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) with notation from the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the “Naked Objects” implementation pattern. The framework has been used in the delivery of a postgraduate...

Many companies are implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in an effort to automate and integrate information and processes. While some ERP projects are successful, most implementations remain problematic. Projects take longer and cost more than expected, fail to yield anticipated results, or in worst case scenarios, are abandoned completely. While technical issues often arise, ...

This paper reflects an attempt to rethink the process of analysis of Energy Efficiency Initiatives using Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) as a problem structuring tool. The aim of the work is to provide public and private initiative promoters with a structured support for a more informed decision, regarding the implementation of energy efficiency measures. The SSM approach contributed with the id...

The importance of collaborative design (CD) to the competitiveness of enterprises has been frequently emphasized. Since CD is highly related to the product development process that involves internal and external organizations, such an environment of a design chain is usually rather complex. Within such a complicated process, soft systems dynamics methodology (SSDM), which consists of soft syste...

It has been argued that the Conceptual Models used in Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) are logically inadequate for some of the purposes, notably information system design, for which they are used. In a series of theoretical papers it has been argued that this shortcoming could be rectified by producing logically enhanced versions of the SSM models. The paper describes the use of these models for...

The effectiveness of socio-technical approaches, such as the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), to structure problematic situations is dependent on the candid communication of participants. This paper reports a pilot study using SSM to explore the challenges of establishing the Ideal Speech Situation in order to gain an understanding of the contradictory perceptions of graffiti. Through exploring ...
