In my last post I was writing about EPIC SCAN, a combination of two great sources of knowledge including a reflection on how I use it. Emergent, Perverse, Irreducible and Contrived existing Complexity is SCANned for how complex it really is. According to the result (Simple, Complicated, Ambiguous, Non-of-them) a way of working, mindset, skillset is applied in a holistic way to optimize the flows through GLUE.
There is a challenge left, because the EPIC SCAN only works for sensemaking which I place in the GLUE Division Defence. The question is now how to apply the SCAN in the Division Destination. For that I use the WISE SCAN:
- Worth – A capability developed in the GLUE Division Destination must be worth to start the transformation in GLUE Division Discovery..
- Informed – Collect information (if not already at hand) so that a decision is as much as possible and needed based on facts. Just Bareley Good Enough from Scott Ambler might be a source of inspiration here.
- Simple – Select the most simple solution which works. KISS from Michael Vizdos might help here.
- Environment – Ensure that a future complexity is embedded in the greater contex.
Feedback as always more than welcome.
