So welcome back.
That was actually all the lectures within the section philosophical foundations of conceptual analysis
of conceptual modeling, the last couple of lectures.
Now, before we run off to the actually modelling part of this course, I'm going to try to use the
tools that we have learned now.
So you've been given a lot of information.
I think you see that.
And hopefully also I hope that you've gained a lot of knowledge as well.
So I will use a couple of small lectures here to talk about some concrete examples on how you could
apply that knowledge.
So I'm going to talk about how we can use the tools to understand what is going on in communication
between people in ordinary situations.
So when you're doing business or when you're developing systems or when you doing product development
and all kinds of of common scenarios in your everyday life, and we're going to see how some of those
situations lead to what I'm calling communication waste.
So if you know about Lean, you know, what you're trying to do in lean is to hunt down the waste and
try to remove and eliminate as much waste as possible.
And I think and that's in my own experience.
And I'm maybe starting to see that as well, that it's a lot of things that we are doing in every common
situation is actually misunderstanding each other.
And that is waste.
Right.
So what I'm trying to do here is to show you how the different tools that we now have learned could
be applied to eliminate those this waste or at least to reduce it much more.
So I'm going to look into a number of different concrete case studies and not case studies that I'm
going to mention.
Any real companies goes on, but they are experience of mine that I have encountered in a number of
real world situations.
The first one we're going to talk about is about the meaning breakdown, and then we're going to talk
about what I call slow knowledge acquisition.
We're going to talk about the language legacy that often arises in companies been around for some time.
We're going to talk about rigidities, systems, and we're going to talk about the lack of creative
leaps.
So so each of those topics will form one small lecture.
And then in the end, I'm going to have a conclusion lecture where we kind of conclude everything that
we've gone through within the philosophical foundation area.
Very good.
Let's start.
