Donald Ropes is Professor of Learning and Development in Organisations at Inholland University of Applied Sciences. His research is on learning in complex environments, specifically how we can help people and organisations to become responsive: able to absorb shocks, adapt and thrive in new situations and look for challenges that can be turned into opportunities. For more than ten years, Professor Ropes has been working on advancing Design Science Research as a way to contribute to organisations’ development while at the same time expanding organisational learning theory.

Dr. Nagib Callaos is the Founding President of the a 32 years old Multi-Disciplinary Organization oriented 1) to solve real life problems which mostly require multi-disciplinary teams and inter-disciplinary research/communication and 2) to synergistically relate all disciplinary and inter-disciplinary departments of the University Simon Bolivar with private and public corporations. He also was the founding president of several organizations on research, development, and technological innovation and, for many years, consultant in Information Systems.

Mostly, implicit relationships between disciplinarity and inter-disciplinarity will be presented. These relationships exists and are real, but they are not always perceived  son the can be adequately desing and implemented. Consequently, we will try to describe and make collective comments of the following relationships. We will aso distribute among the attendees a paper draft regarding with a little bit of details regarding these relationships and the potential danger of Intra-Disciplinary Incest where these cybernetic relationships are absent in a researcher or a research group.
