Further Along the Möbius : Using a Klein Bottle Concept to Consider Complex Warfare Differently

These public facing Medium posts are a crowd-sourcing exercise to further develop some initial concepts on how security organizations might use systemic design theory to re-conceptualize how military forces frame, construct and execute strategic and operational campaign designs. In contemporary security applications, we hear often about ‘multi-domain’, ‘integrated deference’, ‘disciplined…

Recursiveness: A Key Design Concept for Transforming Organizations from Centralized Hierarchies toward what Militaries Hark as ‘Mission Command’ and ‘Mutual Trust’ in Complex Warfare Contexts (using Whitesnake lyrics and a Friends Episode)

From time to time, I will post some light-hearted design thoughts as well as offer up some techniques in teaching design to military, governmental and other agencies that need to work and think in socially complex, dynamic security contexts. These stem from my own work as a design educator, theorist…
