As Schön and Rein explain in Frame Reflection, framing implicitly selects and names what then become the “things” in a story about reality, which is here a story about what is “wrong” and what needs “fixing” (i.e., the “problem” and “solution”). As with any narrative, much of what is relevant and interesting is never “named and framed”. (Think of it as a form of sampling bias.) A frame, then, can be thought of as the implicit assumptions at play that scope your thinking. These assumptions are baked into the language you use. The same language will often replicate the same constraints. Innovations in description can alter the prevailing “choice architecture”, triggering reframes that create new distinctions and reveal new options. https://lnkd.in/gk5-yyNB

Design thinking and systems thinking complement each other effectively, enhancing problem-solving through a holistic and user-centric approach. Design thinking, which places a high value on understanding user needs and preferences, can integrate seamlessly with systems thinking, which views systems as interconnected entities aiming for holistic optimization. For instance, traditional operations research (OR) might concentrate on optimizing traffic or public transport routes when designing a city's transportation system. However, with its adaptability, systems thinking expands this perspective to include interdependencies like how traffic patterns influence public transport efficiency, environmental considerations such as air quality impacts, and meeting diverse user needs such as pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. #systemsthinking #designthinking #operationsresearch #complexity https://lnkd.in/eUZmVyRR

Logic is the architect of our choices, shaping the blueprint of our decisions. In a world with countless possibilities, it's the guiding force that helps us navigate complexity with clarity and purpose. #entrepreneurcoach

Greetings LinkedIn Community, In the dynamic intersection of technology and commercial real estate, the pace of innovation never wanes. It's an arena where being an early adopter doesn't just set trends—it sets the foundation for the future. Inspired by the profound opportunities #AI brings to our industry, I'm thrilled to share my reflections from the March edition of our Blueprints of Tomorrow newsletter. Blueprints of Tomorrow is a monthly newsletter for those keen on staying at the forefront of where technology meets the built environment. Here, we share the latest news, insights, and innovations driving change and shaping the future of #CommercialRealEstate. 👉 Subscribe here: https://lnkd.in/gqEZXVmc Now here are my reflections from the March edition: While I've collected my fair share of conference badges, my recent experience at The Real Deal Future City conference stands apart. This event was not just a gathering; it was a confluence of minds, ideas, and visions for the future of real estate and urban development. The content was rich with insights and forward-thinking perspectives that challenged and expanded my understanding of what's possible. But beyond the presentations and panel discussions, it was the relationships forged between sessions that imbued the experience with a deeper significance. Among the wealth of knowledge, a simple yet powerful message from the closing remarks by Robert Knakal firmly lodged itself in my thoughts: "Knowing is not doing." This resonant phrase is a reminder that while the week left me informed and inspired, the true measure of its impact lies in what I do next. An idea, no matter how revolutionary or compelling, remains nothing more than a hopeful wish until we take action to bring it to life. The journey doesn't end with inspiration; it's merely the beginning. The path from inspiration to implementation is where the real work lies, and it is incumbent upon all of us to bridge that gap. "Knowing is not doing" serves as a call to action, a reminder that the visions of tomorrow we're so passionate about can only be realized through diligent, purposeful action today. This realization is not a burden but an exciting challenge. It underscores the importance of not just dreaming big, but also acting with intention and resolve. An idea without execution is just a dream. But as a community committed to innovation and progress, we have the power to turn our dreams into blueprints, and our blueprints into the vibrant realities of tomorrow. As we move forward, let's carry with us the inspiration and knowledge gained from whatever experiences inspire us, but let's also remind ourselves of the importance of action. Let's challenge ourselves to not only envision a brighter future but to actively construct it, one purposeful step at a time. With gratitude and anticipation for what we will build together, Ken at Layer 10 #CRE #Layer10 #BlueprintsOfTomorrow

Welcome to the article series on “Designing Large-Scale Systems”! In this series, we will discuss complex world of architectural strategies and design principles essential for building systems that operate on a massive scale. Each article will not only cover concepts but will also illuminate these ideas with real-world examples. From our first article, we will discuss various system requirements, the key quality attributes to consider during the design phase, and how service levels are quantitatively measured to ensure that these systems not only function effectively but also thrive under the pressures of high-demand business scenarios. #designsystems #largescalesystems #architecture #systemdesign #highavailability

Its humbling to realize the complexity of everything around us and how little we actually understand. The reason for studying various assumptions and theories is because any pragmatic structure based on a web of ideas or conceptualization could be a result of numerous variables associated with it. Simplifying said structures to a particular ideology even though it may be true at certain level could be disastrous as implementation of entire structures around said single idea could result in the collapse of the entire structure.

In this video, we are going to cover Step 8 in the process of applying for planning permission - Application Decision. After going through the rigorous process of applying for planning permission, this step is crucial as it determines whether your application has been approved or refused. Watch this video and discover how long it typically takes to receive a decision, and what factors influence whether your application gets approved or refused. https://lnkd.in/ge4rS8xE #planningapproval #planningpermission #planningconsultants #townplanning #townplanner #architecturedesign #architects #architect

This article offers one of my favorite examples of explaining - how would you explain this term to an five-year-old? How would you explain systems thinking to a five-year-old? Let’s use the analogy of a jumper or sweater to explain systems thinking. Pulling a loose thread in a jumper represents making changes within a system. You're not quite sure what's going to happen because you can't see where that thread goes or the interconnections. Sometimes, pulling the thread results in nothing happening. At other times, it creates unintended consequences, like holes or unravelling. This illustrates the importance of understanding how parts of a system are interconnected.

One more time I decided to go through “Clean Architecture” by Robert C. Martin. This time I thought it would be even more refreshing to sum up some of its parts and share them publicly. As the first topic, I summarized the “Dependency Inversion Principle” and a few problems it addresses. Link to the blog post: https://lnkd.in/ds4r7RUg
