Software architecture must evolve towards systems thinking in order to meet the needs of emergent content systems
SLIDE 4
“Content systems consist of cohesive yet distinct entities that are interrelated and interdependent, forming a whole which has a structure and purpose that defines its boundary.”
Definition
SLIDE 5
“Systems thinking is the fuzzy area of understanding the boundaries that distinguish one system from other systems and defining what interrelated and interdependent mean within those boundaries.”
Definition
SLIDE 6
“The ecosystem in which the content shares branding and editorial oversight and the entities communicate, rely on and/or react to each other somehow.”
My definition
SLIDE 7
“Emergent means greater than the sum of its parts because it depends not on individual elements but on the structure of relationships between them.”

Emergent content system
- Visual
- Ecosystem
- Success criteria
SLIDE 10
TL;DR
- Make discussions transparent
- Partner with subject matter experts
- Define words
SLIDE 11
Teams that cultivate emergent behavior build emergent systems
