A Systems Approach to Crisis Preparedness and Organizational Resilience

Idealized Design

Idealized Design \r\n \r\n Idealized Design, a segment of Interactive Planning, is an organizational development process developed by Russell L. Ackoff in the 1950\'s to enable an organization to get beyond problem solving and unleash their innovative potential. \r\n\r\n Method \r\n “An idealized design of a system is the design its stakeholders would have right now if they could have any system they wanted. ... It is called idealized because it is the best ideal-seeking systems its designers could imagine at the time, recognizing that they and others may be able to imagine a better one in the future.” (WHCA, 1996) \r\n Read A Brief Guide to Interactive Planning and Idealized Design, which is the most succinct overview of Interactive Planning and Idealized Design to date. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n References \r\n \r\n Ackoff Virtual Inquiry Center (AVIC) The Grand Experiment at SystemsWiki.org \r\n A tribute to Russell L.
