The Man-Made world is increasingly populated by Systems:

• Manufacturing, Construction, Mining, Agricultural Systems
• Man-Made Biological & Health Care Systems
• Military-Aerospace Systems
• Transportation, Energy & Power Systems
• Telecommunication Networks
• Facilities, Properties
• Business Processes
• Other Man-Made and Natural Systems



These Systems are becoming More Complex

• Under sophistication pressure of demand & competition
• Enabled by progress in technology
• Becoming more complex at exponentially growing rates
• We can now Construct systems more complex than we can Understand
• These are natural forces driving further "complexification"
• They can be sources of problems or advantages in competitive markets
