The other day I came across the tool below for the first time in years. Looking at it with fresh eyes inspired me to write a post about it, as I do not believe I had discussed it before as a decision tool. For context, it is based on the work of Chilean biologist turned philosopher Humberto Maturana, John Minger’s interpretation of it, my interpretation of both, and my own insight. I moved the theory up from explanations that precede decisions, where it was originally focused, to decisions themselves, which is more immediately useful. The end result is an artifact intended to support decision-makers in evaluating decisions made from inside or outside the decision group against three criteria: Coherence, Criteria of Acceptability, and Action Legitimacy. This post provides a look at how these criteria can be used in decision-making. In each instance, narrative is intended to be used in tandem with plotting the decision. Multiple mappings of the same decision by the decision group are likely and constructive.
