The Viable Systems Model, or VSM is a model of the organisational structure of any viable or autonomous system.

A viable system is any system organised in such a way as to meet the demands of surviving in the changing environment.

One of the prime features of systems that survive is that they are adaptable.

The VSM expresses a model for a viable system, which is an abstracted cybernetic description that is applicable to any organisation that is a viable system and capable of autonomy.
