Subject: Sociotechnical Systems

Sociotechnical Systems (STS) are integrated systems that intertwine social and technological components to create structures of interaction, decision-making, and impact. These systems include people, organisations, tools, and the rules and values that guide their interrelations. Sociotechnical Systems balance human needs and ethical considerations with technological advancements, striving for inclusivity, transparency, and systemic wellbeing. By recognising that neither social nor technological factors exist in isolation, these systems enable collaborative and innovative approaches to solving complex challenges while fostering fairness and collective progress.
