2.3 Conclusion
In analyzing, designing, and managing complex large-scale sociotechnical systems,
the tightly coupled and complex interactions between the institutional and techno-
logical systems are both a challenge and an opportunity. he concurrent consider-
ation of the physical domain and the institutional sphere in the CLIOS process is
a fundamental shift from other systems analysis and design processes for complex
sociotechnical systems and allows for an improved understanding of the interac-
tions between these two critical aspects of the problem. hus it, allows for crafting
interconnected and potentially synergetic technological and institutional strategies
that would otherwise not be possible. he CLIOS process also allows for the design
of flexible and robust strategic alternatives for systems design and management,
taking into account the key uncertainties that the system faces throughout its life
cycle. Additionally, the visual systems representation of CLIOS systems allows the
engagement of a wide range of stakeholders in the pertinent analysis and decision-
making processes.
