Approach

• Engineer system solutions that have a high degree of inherent complexity cost effectively
• Avoid introducing unnecessary complexity
• Achieve a common understanding of the system amongst stakeholders
• Improve quality by producing consistent architectures
• Improve organisational learning
• Reuse existing knowledge and create new solutions

There is evidence to show that visualising systems assists the understanding of complex problems. An image can be recognised by the brain in about 150 ms, and in a further 100 ms we can attach meaning to it (Thorpe, 1996). Images go directly into long term memory where they are indeliably etched (Burmark).

Clearly, problems arising from inherent complexity are not solved from visualising systems alone. Developing a system involves the consideration of all stakeholder concerns, ideally in such a way that the stakeholders can take an active role in analysis and synthesis processes. And this is where our services come into play.
