Jfacc as Architect: Using Systemic Design to Create Options in a World of Wicked Problems

The book delves into the complexities faced by military planners in the Information Age, emphasizing the emergence of "wicked problems" that challenge traditional campaign planning methods. It critiques existing models like the Military Decision Making Model and explores Systemic Operational Design (SOD) as a promising alternative rooted in General Systems Theory. By focusing on commander-centered learning and adaptive engagement with complex environments, SOD aims to enhance campaign design and planning, as evidenced by findings from the Army's Unified Quest experiments.
