Foundations of The Cybernetic Enterprise
Foundations of The Cybernetic Enterprise
The Bodies of Knowledge Behind Adaptive Organizations
About the Book
Foundations of The Cybernetic Enterprise is the companion volume to The Cybernetic Enterprise. It contains only the Body of Knowledge: concise reference entries on the disciplines behind the main book—Cybernetics, Systems Thinking, Lean & Flow, Agile & Methods, Architecture & Engineering, Product & Innovation, AI & Cyber-Physical, and DevOps.
This is a reference, not a playbook. For the operating model, principles, practices, governance, metrics, and roadmaps, use the main book.
The Cybernetic Enterprise is not built on entirely new concepts. It stands on the shoulders of time-tested methodologies, practices, and principles that have proven their value over centuries. These foundations shaped the efficiency, precision, and innovation behind modern AI-powered operations. This accumulated Body of Knowledge is the backbone of the Cybernetic Enterprise—informing how we design and deliver software, AI-driven solutions, and cyber-physical systems.
In Switzerland we know the Ricola line: “Wer hat es erfunden?” — “Who has invented it?” This volume answers that spirit of inquiry by tracing ideas to their sources.
