| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how cybernetic theories open new paths towards organizational intelligence. This is illustrated by means of three theoretical models from organizational cybernetics. These models are integrated into a framework for a virtuous design (self-)control and (self-)transformation of organizations. It is proposed that changes in activities, structure and behavior - three of the dimensions of this framework - have to be synchronized among one another, and aligned with a fourth dimensions: fundamental parameters such as organizational identity, ethos and vision. It is also that a continued and integrative application of the models outlined cat trace the path towards excelling organizational intelligence more effectively than merely punctual uses of one or more of them. |
