Dear Klaus and all,
Offline, Ken reminded me that the list can have files sent to it.
Rather than that, I'll point to the url for a pdf of the PowerPoint at http://www.love.com.au/docs/2009/build-ecosys-variety.pdf
There are two earlier lectures with much the same material developed under the influence of a sort of challenge by Prof Bryn Tellefsen of BI to create a body of design theory to explain Machiavelli's recommended actions in the Prince that is applicable more generally. The first lecture was delivered at Lancaster University in the UK in 2008 as
Love, T. & Cooper, C. (2008). Machiavelli with Extra Variety: Taking Organisational Power and Control. Presented at the Institute of Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development, Management School, Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK.
Best wishes,
Terry

Subject: RE: Design theories for beyond wicked problems
Dear Klaus,
A set of classes of complex design situations not fully included in Rittel's 'wicked problem' criteria are described in slide 4 of Love, T. and Cooper, T. (2009) Built Environments of Digitally-based Ecosystems: Systemic Variety-Based Design. Invited lecture to Dept of Architecture, University of Oregon.
The slide describes (in this case in the context of Architectural Design) one set of classes of design problems relating to the design of systems that take into account complex and dynamically changing power relations in complex socio-technical systems:
Multiple constituencies – changing over time
Multiple overlapping sub-systems
Multiple overlapping processes across subsystems
Mixed ownership of sub-systems
Varying purposes and roles of system and sub-systems
Complex and dynamic distribution of formal and informal power and control
To them, I would now also add 'dynamically changing contextual and subsystem boundaries that at times cross the system boundary'.
