Systems Engineering (SE)

SE is a tried-and-tested framework for delivering fit-for-purpose systems.

SE has an international standard ISO/IEC 15288:2015.

ISO/IEC 15288 requires a domain-specific methodology to apply the framework.

Complex Adaptive System (CAS)

A CAS is a system that continually changes over time.

A CAS includes active agents that interact with their environment.

In a CAS the agents and their environment co-evolve interdependently.

A CAS exhibits novel, emergent behaviours and properties.

Complex Adaptive Systems Engineering (CASE)

CASE is Systems Engineering applied to a Complex Adaptive System.

CASE combines specfic context with general content.

CASE synergises agent psychology and process physics.

CASE focusses on growing embedded capability in self-improvement.

Health Care Systems Engineering (HCSE)

HCSE is CASE applied in the health care domain.

HCSE is a framework and methodology for improving healthcare safety, flow, quality and value-4-money.

HCSE is a synthesis of 'soft' and 'hard' improvement-by-design methods.

HCSE projects span all scales from microsystem to macrosystem.

HCSE projects are a mix of cultural and technical capability development.

HCSE projects are usually managed using the modern Agile framework.

Agile

Agile is a modern project management framework.

Agile was inspired by Lean and emerged 20 years ago in software engineering.

Agile focusses on delivering value, quickly and with minimal wasted time.

Agile is a structured, rapid-cycle approach that can flex with evolving needs.

Agile works well in a virtual environment and with shared workspaces.

eleGANTT®

eleGANTT® is designed to accelerate the improvement process.

eleGANTT® measures and visualises a complicated system in real-time.

eleGANTT® assists rapid diagnosis, design and delivery.

eleGANTT® facilitates achieving quick wins.

eleGANTT®

The eleGANTT® system is a combination of standard IoT hardware with innovative software that enables the complex behaviour of a complicated microsystem to be visualised in real-time.

The live visualisation allows the people working in the microsystem to see the emergent behaviour of their system and to better appreciate the effects of their individual actions and their interdependencies.

The real-time visual feedback stimulates curiosity, active engagement and natural creativity.

The intended and observed outcome is rapid convergence on practical, doable interventions that lead to significant improvements in safety, flow, quality and value-for-money or productivity.

eleGANTT System

Here is a short video demonstrating eleGANTT® being used in a table-top simulation of a one-stop clinic as part of a training exerise.

The same technique and technology is used to measure a real clinic in real-time as the first step in the diagnose-design-decide-deliver sequence that characterises the improvement-by-design approach.
