Assess

# Assess # What to do first * Assess the situation & orient yourself to the issue at hand. * Create response strategies, including what the triggers will be for a phase shift back to normal operation when the crisis is over.

* Create your approach towards interventions and how to manage constraints. * Design Briefs, Goals and Missions, using material produced by the sensing networks.

# Decisions to be made * If it isn't a crisis, then focus on Organisational resilience and monitor for outliers that indicate if the system is becoming over constrained. * If it is a crisis, decisions must be made quickly, authority and hierarchy is useful in these circumstances.

* Set Draconian constraints, including to prevent premature convergence. * Capitalise on opportunities to make changes whilst the system is open to it.

* Make focussed, tactical use of shallow dives into chaos, using small numbers from existing informal networks by relaxing constraints. # Tasks and activities * Create triggers to identify emerging issues which were unknowable beforehand.

* Distribute the cognition * Create a map of the Dispositional Landscape

* Start Journaling * Reset measures to the short-term, focus on the present, ahead of Crew design
