Intro

• Complexity - the unpredictability of many impacting elements operating, reacting and interacting in both certain and uncertain ways.
• Impacting Elements - the people, realities and activities that can impact achieving a mission if they are not identified, understood, addressed and managed.
• Complex Systems - are systems with complexity that makes them difficult to model or predict.
  • a. Too Many impacting elements - often too many for algoritms and/or logic
  • b. Unknown impacting elements - difficult to identify all of the impacting elements
  • c. Uncertain impacting elements - elements that act, react and interact in uncertain ways
  • d. Adaptive - the system adapts over time, thus changes how it operates

Examples include global climate, organisms, ecosystems, businesses, complex goals and human beings.

• Complex Goals - meaningful missions that require successfully managing complexity, change, vulnerability, and many iterations. Examples include personal dreams, business missions and community goals.
• Enablement - is the process of successfully managing complex goal pursuits.
• Enablement Framework - a framework to efficiently and effectively guide each enablement iteration within a complex system to achieve a mission-driven outcome. The enablement framework is designed to help to:
  • Identify, understand, address and manage each of the impacting elements
  • Create and continuously improve the strategy and solutions
  • Efficiently and effectively manage and learn from each iteration
• Enablement Process - six step process to manage a complex goal pursuit until the mission-driven outcome is achieved

1. Mission

• Mission - a simple statement of the purpose, direction and desired outcome to be achieve.

2. What People Want

• Personal Well-Being - our unique defintion of good or satisfactory condition of Health, Financial (Basic Needs), Family and Support, Purpose and Meaning, Love and Connection and Competence and Control
• Human Complexity - the unpredictability of people due to the interaction of their unique impacting elements (People, Realities, Activities), defintions of personal well-being, dreams, and complex goals.

3. How People Get What They Want
4. Aspirer

• Aspirer - people who either want to pursue or are pursuing a dream or complex goal.

5. Beneficiary

• Beneficiary
  

6. Decision Makers

• DecisionMakers
  

7. Contributors

• Contributors
  

8. Communities

• Knowledge
  

9. Realities

• Realities – the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as people think they should be. Realities are the fundamental truths of complex systems (including people, communities, and Complex Goals).
• Impacting Realities - are the fundamental truths (or impacting elements) about Complex Systems that need to be identified and understood to more effectively predict the outcome of a Complex System and may need to be addressed and managed to positively achieve a desired such as achieving a complex goal.

10. Complexity

• Managing Complexity - an outcome-driven approach to achieve a mission by addressing the impacting elements, creating a solution and figuring out how to make it happen through numerous iterations.

11. Change

12. Synchrony'
13. Iteration

• Iteration - a version of the mission, impacting elements, strategy, solution and design aligned to achieve an outcome, dream or complex goal.
• Complex Adaptive Solution - an iterative solution that achieves the mission by adapting to change and evolves with the uncertainty from complexity. It consists of continuous improvement of strategies, solutions and measures to evaluate progress.
• Iteration Generator - is repeatable process to efficiently and effectively manage numerous iterations when complexity creates uncertainty. It is designed to managing the complexity within dreams and complex goals.
• Enablement Design – is how the solution is to be created and how the overall pursuit will be communicated, funded and operationalized as weel as personal needs addressed.
• Create and Implement – is creating the solution and implementing the plan defined in the enablement design

14. Problem or Unmet Need

• ProblemUnmetNeed
  

15. Enablement Framework
16. Strategy

• Strategy - approaches that deliver progress toward achieving the mission and address potential barriers to achieving the mission from the Impacting Elements

17. Solution

• Solution
  

18. Measures

• Measures - the method of measuring progress toward achieving the mission

19. Communication
