8 Arenas of Action Matrix
- Complicated: For situations that require expertise, bring in knowledgeable people to create detailed plans and make sure everyone can follow them.
- Complex: If the situation is unpredictable, use regular feedback from a diverse group to make decisions and look out for unexpected changes.
- Chaos: When everything is a mess, sometimes you have to rely on luck or make a complete overhaul.
- Aporetic: When you’re stuck between two difficult options, set up teams to explore different solutions in simulations.
- Clear: When things are straightforward and well-understood, just follow standard processes and watch out for anyone breaking the rules.
- Complex-Chaos: To prepare for emergencies, develop and test networks that can sense human behavior, and use simulations to train.
- Liminally Complicated: Use strategic foresight in advance and prepare for the unexpected, including those who don’t fit the normal patterns.
- Unimaginable: Sometimes things happen that you just can’t predict or prepare for.
