• ...the disruptive process becomes the
  scaffolding for the enterprises approach to
  innovation. Through shaping a disruptive
  process, the enterprise answers the question,
  What kind of interactions do we want to create?

The Dimensions of Transformation
Organizational Design The changes in an
organizations division of labor that may be
needed to implement a desired course of action,
in order to bring about desired
effects. Capabilities Technological systems,
hardware, or tools that may be required to
execute a specified course of action. Processes
The changes in steps, tasks, or procedures needed
to implement concepts or apply capabilities. Auth
orities Changes in public laws or regulations
that may be needed to provide authority,
permission, or capabilities to war
fighters. Concepts Structured approaches to
expressing how a course of action might be
accomplished for current or future war fighter
problems. Cultures Understandings, beliefs and
practices that define and shape operational
decisions, organizational response or reaction to
change.
