Societal Systems Engineering (SSE) is defined as a multidisciplinary Societal Systems Thinking based© approach integrating multi-methodology based trans-disciplinary processes development, implementation and control strategies, which support the development, management and sustainability of businesses and Societal Systems –  considering a society as a Societal system of systems and a business as a subsystem or a component of the societal system.

The SSE is a socio-scientific knowledge based framework (Social sciences and scientific methods integrated knowledge) that is applied to solve Societal Systems problems. The SSE creative holism with world views and Global challenges based framework provides societal problems solving practical systems approaches (Hard and Soft Systems thinking based methodologies), new paradigm of embedding Societal Systems Thinking (SST).

The SSE framework is implemented following the Societal Systems Engineering Unified Model (SSE-UM)™. For further details, visit the website WWW.SSEINCGROUP.COM.

For a society, the Societal Systems Engineering methodology, offers the following applications:

• The Societal Capital Framework (SCF) and Societal Capital Index (SDSIF):  The traditional approach to measure social progress on single-dimension indicators like GDP is incomplete.  Our approach defines the goal as the Societal Capital Index of a Society, which encompasses the ongoing capacity and processes for social systems to provide economic, cultural, communal, educational, health, and overall well-being of a society.
• Governance Efficiency Maturity Model (GEMM™):  This approach is about improving Governance Efficiency, by describing the maturity stages of governance, the capabilities and processes required within each maturity stage, and how to progress to advanced stages of governance maturity.
• Societal Sustainability Maturity Model (SSMM™): This application is about Societal Sustainability
• Societal Capital Model (SCM): This application is about developing Societal Capital
• Societal Systems Engineering Unified Model (SSE – U-Model®™)
• Societal Capacity Building and Development Model (SCBM®™)
• Symbiotic Stakeholder Management™

For business organizations, WOSSE offers business applications in the following  areas:

• Business Process Improvement: This is a matured area, that we now bring a systems engineering approach to
• Product/Systems Life Cycle Management: This is an area of shortage in engineering, for which we provide training and services.  The new frontier here is how product and services interact with society.
• Compliance Management
• Business Capacity Building: Today’s focus on shareholder value has lead to shorter term pressures which crowd out the longer-term potential of a business.  We define a framework for Business Capacity through a maturity model of strategy and processes
• Business Sustainability Strategy: Today’s rapidly changing markets, competitive landscapes, and environments are outstripping business sustainability for keeping up.  Our framework changes the scope of business planning to a Sustainability Framework, utilizing a systems approach that incorporates interdependence on markets, innovation, societies, and government.

Marketplace and Partnerships

WOSSE membership enables companies to discover each other’s services and work together on projects, due to the need for systems project to have multi-disciplinary capabilities and complementary technologies.  The partnership could be based on a market share, profit share or company share offering.

Membership services also enable and deliver knowledge, education, and connectivity to create a community of societal systems professionals.   You are invited to join our organization to help solve societal and institutional challenges using the WOSSE systems-based approach.
