The
Essence of Enterprise Solutions |
Enabling Transformation through Innovative Thinking |
Practical Solutions to Enterprise Architecture |
• Capabilities
- “Open systems” -- “self-regulating” units of
organization
- Also “wholes unto themselves” and “parts of
other wholes.”
• Open Systems Engineering:
- “Deciders” transform messages into actions
- “Transducers” translate messages between
the decider and its internal resource
structure and its external environment.
• Scale-Free Networks:
- Changes cascade through clusters creating
emergent behavior.
- Engineering enables management to avoid
unintended consequences and maximize
desired effects.
• Management Algebra
- Defines a capability’s regulatory
infrastructure.
• Value-Based Cost
- Focused on the development of Yield Curves.
- The direction of change in the effectiveness
of the capability relative to its cost.
- Derived from the management algebra using
“cost utility analysis. |
