For most of my life, I’ve been known as Ali Hosseini, a name I carried through school, university, my professional life, and early publications. It is a respected and familiar name, and I hold it in deep regard because it has been part of my identity for decades. However, it is also one of the […]

During my school years, I recall that there were usually two or three other students named Ali Hosseini in the same grade. For at least two years, three of us shared the same classroom in the beginning of the school year, leading the school administration to reassign each of us to different classes to reduce

It’s been over a month since my last post, and I’ve been caught up in a creative project that’s filling my days and notebook with new perspectives. Those following my recent updates might’ve noticed a shift—thoughts on system dynamics, feedback loops, and cognitive clarity, like my take on The Art of Thinking Clearly. This project

The review titled Innovation System Policy Analysis presents a comprehensive analysis of how feedback mechanisms, policy interventions, and computational modeling shape innovation ecosystems. The paper categorizes applications of system dynamics into key areas, primarily R&D policy, innovation diffusion, science and technology policies, and regional innovation clusters. Each of these areas highlights the role of feedback

I can talk about this book forever. The Hidden Connections isn’t just a book—it’s a way of seeing the world that feels both deeply intuitive and profoundly structured. This is why I was drawn to systems thinking in the first place. The realization that nothing exists in isolation, that everything—biological, technological, social—is part of a

My latest article, “Future-Proofing Project Networks: AI, Systems Thinking, and Adaptive Decision-Making,” has been published in the PM World Journal (February 2025). This paper examines the increasing complexity of modern project networks and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Systems Thinking can be leveraged to enhance adaptability, optimize resources, and improve strategic decision-making.

There’s something satisfying about finding a study that mirrors questions you’ve been asking yourself. I came across A System Dynamics Approach to Modelling Eco-Innovation Drivers in Companies by Carlos F. A. Arranz, while looking into system dynamics applications as a part of the research for a project, and it immediately caught my attention. Even though
A few years ago, during my master’s studies in Technology Foresight at Amirkabir University, I took a course on forecasting methods. It wasn’t something I had deliberately chosen; it was a requirement, filled with time-series models, regression analyses, and probability distributions. The models were precise, the equations elegant, but something always felt missing. Reading Superforecasting

Some time ago, I read The Art of Thinking Clearly, a book that laid out a broad spectrum of cognitive biases, offering quick and accessible insights into human irrationality. It was like flipping through a catalog of common thinking errors. But when I picked up Thinking, Fast and Slow, it felt like stepping into the
The first time I came across The Art of Thinking Clearly was when a well-known sports news anchor in my country (Adel Ferdosipour) translated it into Persian. It was widely promoted on social media, and a lot of people were talking about it. But I never read the translation—and in hindsight, I’m glad I didn’t.
