Operativa doktriners hantering av komplexa problem

Axelsson, Rickard January 2022 (has links)
Troligtvis kommer dagens och morgondagens konflikter innebära en högre grad av komplexa problem, bland annat genom fler typer av hot och aktörer, än tidigare. Militära organisationer behöver hantera dessa komplexa problem parallellt med andra former av problem och behöver därför rätt doktrinära förutsättningar för effektiv problemhantering. Om inte samtida militära doktriner möter det behov av komplex problemhantering som dagens kontext kräver, riskerar organisationerna vara utrustade med fel sorts verktyg och metoder för konflikthantering. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur väl operativa doktriner är anpassade för att hantera den del av dagens konflikter som kan ses som komplexa utifrån Cynefin-ramverket (Kurtz & Snowden 2003; Snowden & Boone 2007). Studien utförs som en beskrivande jämförande flerfallstudie av tre gällande operativa doktriner från Sverige, Norge och Spanien. Studien bidrar med kunskap om doktriners utformning för både framtida forskning och doktrinutveckling samt till del prövar Cynefin-ramverket som analysverktyg. Undersökningens resultat visar att de analyserade doktrinerna i olika stor grad är anpassade till komplex problemhantering utifrån Cynefin-ramverket. Både den svenska och norska doktrinen innehåller element som kan bidra till komplex problemhantering, men är i övrigt inte anpassade till teoribildningen kring komplexa problem. Den spanska doktrinen är däremot mer anpassad till en komplex problemhantering, bland annat genom en kognitiv krigföringsdomän.

Cynefin och svensk planerings- och ledningsmetod (SPL) : En kvalitativ uppsats om SPL och dess förmåga att hantera framtidens problem

Hallberg, Jonas January 2021 (has links)
Militära organisationer ställs idag allt oftare inför problem som de inte riktigt vet hur de ska hantera. Ofta hanteras dessa problem genom traditionella och linjära metoder som militära organisationer är vana vid att använda sig av,vilket då kan leda till oönskade resultat eller konsekvenser som inte kunnat förutses. Konsekvenser som kan vara oproportionerliga i förhållande till genomförda insatser. De metoder, som militära organisationer väljer att använda sig av måste därför vara anpassade för att kunna hantera framtidens problem. Cynefin-modellen används av flera olika organisationer för att förstå olika typer av problem, men även som ett sätt att kategorisera problem. Problemen delas in i uppenbara-, komplicerade-, komplexa problem och kaos. Denna uppsatsfokuserar framför allt på komplicerade och komplexa problem då det är inom dessa kategorier som hanteringen är svårast bl.a. för att komplext ofta misstas för komplicerat. Den metoden Försvarsmakten nyttjar för att hantera dessa problem är Svensk Planerings- och ledningsmetod (SPL). Uppsatsens frågeställning är: Kan svensk planerings- och ledningsmetod (SPL) hantera komplexa militära problem och i så fall hur? Resultatet visar att SPL i stor utsträckning kan hantera komplicerade problem, men har begränsad möjlighet att hantera komplexa. Därför föreslås vidare forskning och utveckling av SPL för att undersöka om och i så fall hur SPL kan utvecklas för att bättre kunna hantera framtidens problem.

The strategic continuing training needs of executives and managers on a selection of large South African companies

Botha, Deonie Francesca 28 July 2008 (has links)
The strategic environment of companies is divided in four domains. These domains are the known, knowable, complex and chaos domains. The known and knowable domains are characterised by order while the chaos and complex domains are characterised by unorder. The factors present in the chaos and complex domains are emergent in nature and are regarded as un-ordered. Executives and managers need to be prepared to manage in all four these domains in order to ensure the long-term competitiveness of companies. This implies that the training needs of executives and managers need to be identified and addressed in order to prepare them to manage in the four domains in the strategic environment of companies. Executives and managers are trained by means of traditional and/or strategic training. Traditional training prepares executives and managers to manage in the ordered domains while strategic training prepare executives and managers to manage in the domains characterised by un-order which are emergent in nature. Strategic training is “based on predictions of future job requirements” (Rothwell&Kazanas, 1994:425). Traditional training addresses the training needs of executives and managers as it flows from the current strategic orientation of the company while strategic training addresses the training needs of executives and managers as it flows from the emergent strategic orientation of the company. Knowledge management entails the establishment of an environment within which knowledge processes (creation, codification, sharing, organisation and use of knowledge) are performed through a variety of tools and techniques to the benefit of the company. Knowledge processes regarding the emergent strategic orientation of companies are performed during a strategic training process and therefore strategic training is regarded as a knowledge management technique. Strategic training enables executives and managers to learn as regards the emergent strategic orientation of the company. Ahmed, Kok and Loh (2002:23) state: “The objective of organizational learning and knowledge management is to create a motivated and energized work environment that supports the continuous creation, collection, use and reuse of both personal and organization knowledge in the pursuit of business success.” Furthermore, Ahmed, Kok and Loh (2002:23) explain that the ability of companies to capitalise on their knowledge assets defines their competitiveness. Knowledge management techniques such as strategic training should be used to ensure that the knowledge assets of companies contribute to the long-term competitiveness of companies. The literature on strategic training was studied and empirical research was conducted in a selection of 24 large South African companies in order to ascertain the nature and scope of training offered to executives and managers. The nature and scope of training in large South African companies were studied to ascertain whether these companies use a strategic training process to identify and address the strategic training needs of executives and managers and thus if companies perform knowledge processes regarding their emergent strategic orientation. It was ascertained that only a few of the 24 large South African companies which participated in the study use a strategic training process to identify and address the strategic training needs of executives and managers. A framework for the implementation of a cyclical strategic training process is therefore proposed as a guideline for companies that want to use a strategic training process. / Thesis (DPhil)--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Information Science / unrestricted

Exploring the Dimensions of the Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ) for Startup Learning Environments

Morris, Mark Orlando 07 1900 (has links)
Although the Dimensions of the Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ) has been widely accepted by the HRD community, it has not been tested in a startup context for reliability. The purpose of the current study is to explore if the DLOQ is a reliable instrument for startups to help them be more successful. The current study seeks to address some of the questions, which have been posed by previous researchers. The study utilizes a mixed-method design applying Cronbach alpha values to check the reliability of the instrument in a startup learning environment, with more than 600 participants and 42 startup businesses at a university in the Mountain West. The study uses objective financial measures for startup firms to explore the correlation between the seven dimensions of the DLOQ and startup companies at the university. Cronbach alphas for the instrument measured at the .80 level or higher. Four of the dimensions were found to be statistically significant resulting in a model that accounted for 30% of the variance in predicted Operating Income (p<.004) and 29% of the variances in predicted Net Income (p<.003). The study also uses qualitative analysis to explore what activities relate to the seven dimensions of the DLOQ, and if those activities would be considered complex and disruptive. Thirteen activity clusters were identified and found to be relevant to startups and the seven dimensions of the DLOQ.

Design for unknown futures

Berglund, Jonathan January 2023 (has links)
The need for humanity to lessen its impact on the ecologies we’re a part of is becoming increasingly clear.  While there are many technically advanced solutions in the makings, one of the most straightforward ones is to simply use the objects we surround ourselves with longer. We can make them more durable and repairable but what happens when the needs of the user changes? How can we really know what needs the future will bring? I’m searching for a design approach that embraces this unknown. A process where the designer doesn’t have to be the enlightened figure that knows everything in advance. Because if we accept the complexity of the social and ecological reality where our objects end up, we never can be. I want to make objects that can grow and change with the user. A fertile soil for future needs. I’ve used the design process of three different objects to develop these thoughts.  An open ended loom for the weaver Vega Määttä Siltberg, a table made with designer Julie Amira that is disassemblable without tools, and lastly a piece of furniture that changes function without moving parts. The goal of this project is not to produce a solution to a specific problem or to create an object that communicates an idea as well as possible. Rather it’s the reverse. By the process of designing and building I’ve been able to explore the questions that my project is composed of. The thoughts expressed here come from this experience.
