Ian Glendinning joined ISSS in 2021. He's an individual researcher in the original 1946 spirit of Cybernetics - managing humanity out of a world in crisis - since 2001 when he first started blogging as Psybertron. Seeing that same driver in 1960's counterculture and 2020's metacrisis. Now retired and full-time devoted to Systems Thinking research and writing, Ian had a 50+ years career in applied real-world systems engineering. Starting originally in Aerospace, ian's experience was mainly in the Energy and Process Plants capital facilities and software "solutions" consulting industries. Systems scopes both Physical Systems (of fluids, pressure, energy, structures, process & control) and Human Systems (of people, behaviour, organisation, management, processes, methods & procedures.) The majority, the last 30 years, of that 50 year career was focussed on Information Modelling the content and processes of such systems and hence their Architecture rather than the technology, seen primarily as the evolving toolset.
