Updates No. 3 continued...
Firstly, before I continue from where I left off yesterday, I have just learnt of a new book called:
Learning for Action: A Short Definitive Account of Soft Systems Methodology, and Its Use Practitioners, Teachers and Students by Checkland and Poulter.
Which is now currently on my shopping list of books to buy!
Ok, so following on from yesterdays update, my current working project title (though still subject to change) is:
An enquiry into Soft Systems Methodology in Practice – in a real world business setting
The title stems from my interest and intrigue in SSM used in a business setting - outlined in some of my previous posts.
My Proposal
What I propose to do with this project is carry out an analysis on an existing business interested adopting SSM.
I then intend on documenting and publishing the results and outcomes of analysis/investigation in the form of some kind of easily accessible (perhaps web-based) solution aimed at assisting final year Systems Analysis students learning SSM.
Plan A & B
My current strategy in relation to this project involves a Plan A, and a Plan B. Which I feel is necessary due to the specific nature of this project.
Plan A
Involves:
In addition, I would ideally need to find a company that is relatively local and I guess in some respects syncs nicely within the time constraints of my project.
As you can imagine, this is going to be a little challenging task – hence the Plan B.
Plan B
So naturally, the Plan B is the backup, in the event that I am unable to find a company.
This Plan B will involve me analysing one or a set of case studies where SSM has been used in business – and again using the outcomes of this analysis and investigation to produce and artefact which will assist final year systems analysis students when learning SSM

Plan A & B
My current strategy in relation to this project involves a Plan A, and a Plan B. Which I feel is necessary due to the specific nature of this project.
Plan A
Involves:
- First going out and finding a company currently in the early stages of using/adopting SSM.
- Secondly, I would need to get their approval and permission to take part and shadow their practitioners with the running of their project.
In addition, I would ideally need to find a company that is relatively local and I guess in some respects syncs nicely within the time constraints of my project.
