We have looked at traditional problem solving (PDCA). It's an effective model for relatively static situations (e.g. should Barnes &Noble increase its brick and mortar presence, or diminish it, expand its online presence to be more like Amazon?) It works when you have time and the variables don't change dramatically. A more dynamic situation might be that of an Army preparing for invasion. Generals know that in the first 10 minutes on the beach, the carefully thought out plan is no longer working. Sunoco has to plan to keep gas in your car's tank. Yet, in a moment civil insurrection in Nigeria, or Kuwait might cut off supplies. how do organizations facing dynamic change do their problem solving?. Be sure to include an outside source.
