Practice: Interactive Management: construct a small interpretive structural model

Summary

Use a precise relation, a small adjacency matrix and transitive reasoning to structure a set of enabling conditions. This rehearses one modelling component of Interactive Management. It does not reproduce its full facilitated group process or establish group agreement. The external handbook's free-download availability is uncertain, so the complete case is supplied here.

Implications for practice

A concrete rehearsal with a fictional case, explicit outputs and a way to inspect the result.

Key distinctions

• Mechanical correctness is distinct from judgement in an open situation.
• Training-case application is distinct from competent organisational practice.

Connections to practice

• Create the immediate-link matrix in order A, B, C, D, E.
• Add implied reachability and the identity diagonal.
• Draw a layered model and identify the foundations.
• Return the model to the people who supplied the relation.

Common confusions

• A worked comparison is not the only acceptable answer to an open question.

Further checks

• This rehearses one modelling component of Interactive Management. It does not reproduce its full facilitated group process or establish group agreement. The external handbook's free-download availability is uncertain, so the complete case is supplied here.
• Compare an independent attempt before revealing the worked answer.
