🌟 The key point of Estuarine mapping is that this approach works at all levels. You can apply it to an organisation or corporate
#changeprogramme, a software
#projectmanagement or a military
#strategy. In effect, it allows Grand Strategy and Tactics to be non-linear in nature, building both from the same core components and allowing real-time modification and alerts.
🌟 Some principles: The approach overall is based on three key aspects of working with complex systems:
1. Initiating and monitoring micro-nudges, many small projects rather than one big project, so that success and failure are both (non-ironically) opportunities.
2. We need to understand where we are and start journeys with a sense of direction rather than abstract goals.
3. Understanding and working with propensities and dispositions, managing both so that the things you desire have a lower energy cost than those you don’t.
🌟 Estuarine Mapping – Outline Process:
1. Map the constraints
2. Energy cost of change and time to change
3. The counter-factual border
4. Vulnerability border
5. Acting on constraints and constructors
6. Set a direction of travel
7. Combine the micro-projects into portfolios
🌟 The philosophy is simple: find out where you are and what is possible before you leap into the whole vision and goals thing.
