Enterprise Systems Engineering Background

This most comprehensive presentation of CASE consists of a full paper, an annotated Power Point presentation, and an audio track of the talk. This might be a good place to start in contemplating an alternative approach to systems engineering in very complex environments where people are considered to be part of the system. Consequently, one can better understand how ultimate system improvements cannot be pre-specified and that events can be quite unpredictable.
