Human-systems integration: from virtual to tangible

Overview

This webinar will present a contemporary systems approach to human-systems integration (HSI). Good HSI is a matter of maturity... It takes time for a human being to become autonomous, and mature! It is the same for a socio-technical system. HSI is a matter of teamwork, where human-machine cooperation and coordination are crucial. We cannot think about technical design without considering the people and organizations that deal with it. Nor can we think about new technologies, new organizations and new businesses without considering change management. The webinar will address flexibility in design and operations, virtual human-centered design, tangibility of software-intensive systems, complex systems with increasing autonomy, human factors and ergonomics of socio-technical systems, systemic integration and change management in digital organizations.
