neo-cybernetics

Welcome to the nexus of Neo-Cybernetics, fellow cybernaut!

As pioneers of this revitalized discipline, we invite you to join us on a journey to navigate, shape, and steer the intricate webs of our interconnected world. 

What is Neo-Cybernetics?

Neo-Cybernetics is an interdisciplinary movement at the vanguard of systems science, ecology, and futures studies that aims to restore the discipline of cybernetics to revive its foundational legacy. 

While deeply rooted in the rich traditions of cybernetics, neo-cybernetics embraces the innovations, complexities, and challenges of the 21st century. 

By merging systems thinking, design thinking, ecological thinking, and futures thinking, the movement strives to study evolutionary patterns and emergent behaviors in complex adaptive systems, paving the way for sustainable, equitable, and adaptive futures.

Through rigorous research, interdisciplinary efforts, and a commitment to ethically steer technology and systems, neo-cybernetics aspires to craft a blueprint for a world where technology serves humanity and ecological balance, not the other way around.

What are the objectives of Neo-Cybernetics?

At its core, neo-cybernetics seeks to elevate our collective understanding of the Metamodern age, an era characterized by complex global issues and risks.

To achieve this, we study and design complex systems, connecting together insights from multiple disciplines into a cohesive whole to build resilient communities, companies and organizations capable to adapt to the challenges of our era.

The main objectives of the movement can be summarized as follows:

Bridging Knowledge Across Boundaries

Neo-cybernetics aspires to be a novel open research paradigm, fostering a culture where knowledge, theories, and frameworks from diverse domains converse freely, leading to richer insights and more robust solutions.

Holistic Research and Application

Beyond the mere study of systems, we champion the holistic application of research. It's not just about understanding the intricacies of systems, but about implementing solutions that respect and account for all facets of a problem, ensuring sustainable and well-rounded outcomes.

Cultivating the New Wave of Cybernetic Professionals

Our vision extends to the workforce of the future. We aim to mold a new generation of cyberneticists and cyberneticians, professionals with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. These experts will be instrumental in guiding strategies within companies, governmental agencies, community groups, and beyond. Their insights will ensure that strategies are steered in directions that prioritize the well-being and progress of humanity as a whole, rather than mere economic growth.

Why do we need Neo-Cybernetics?

In an age of exponential technological growth, wicked problems and unprecedented societal changes, a reductionist approach to the study of systems is showing its limitations. In this context, the need for a holistic, adaptive approach is paramount. 

The Neo-cybernetics movement is rising in this transformative era to help the world

• Navigate the dynamics of complex systems and networks of humans and technology nodes.

• Steer organizational systems with intention, grounding innovations in ethics and ecological stewardship.

• Foster resilience in the face of both anticipated challenges and unexpected crises.

• Cultivate a holistic vision that synthesizes knowledge, technology, societal values, and ecological imperatives.
