The authors are avid believers in the criticality of systems thinking for understanding the many global challenges we face. They are particularly interested in how enterprises can make the right trade-offs to balance short- and long-term needs. While at Digital Equipment Corporation and Compaq, they formalized the Compaq Solution Architecture Methodology, which became known as HP’s IT Strategy and Architecture method when HP acquired Compaq. At DEC and Compaq, they developed and delivered highly successful workshops and training symposia that often included high-profile customers. These workshops and training were highly valued by HP, which continued offering them for well over a decade. We provide longer biographies than we have included in the book (if you are interested in knowing more about us).
