A proactive, demand-driven East-West dominant approach is needed to achieving step-change. A North-South dominant approach, based on encouraging Trusts to make step-changes through implementing published best practice guidelines, cannot work because it cannot deal with the complexity.

Different kinds of service are described, depending on the way in which a customer chooses to internalise or externalise its learning as it responds to its own value deficit.

In modelling structure-determined processes, we can take the ‘vertical’ axis as a given, and elaborate the ‘horizontal’ within its terms. But in structure-determining processes, we have to start with the particular ‘horizontal’ relations to context-of-use, and then examine the ways in which they are supported and/or restricted by the ‘vertical’ axis.

In the blog on East-West Dominance, we talked about taking power to the edge, but where is this ‘edge’? Where is it? This is a question of what forms of competitive advantage the organisation can create.

We need to learn about how to model the structure-determining processes of the organisation-in-context as well as the structure-determined processes of the systems the organisation uses.

As we develop our understanding of the three asymmetries, it is helpful to associate them with three corresponding forms of economy that their management generates.

As we move into a technological era in which socially critical systems are built around large and complex, locally universal ontologies, such as openEHR, the Semantic Web, e-government and Network Centric Warfare, we will need increasingly powerful tools and methods to mediate pragmatic and ontological negotiations among embodied individuals. One such set of tools and methods, built around BRL’s PAN (Projective ANalysis), is currently being deployed within the context of its associated methods of asymmetric design.
Our goal is to be able to meet the challenge of managing the dynamic adaptability of large complex systems-of-systems to evolving and disparate contexts-of-use.
