In my last post, I explained the " AdaptiveThinking " for continuous efficiency (routine changes and continuous improvement) and innovation (growth and transformation). This post further discusses the "Adaptive Enterprise Value Chain” and related integrated capabilities of strategy and operations ( StrOps), architecture and operations (ArcOps) and development and operations (DevOps) from The Gill Framework® V.30.  Figure 1. Adaptive Enterprise Value Chain The Gill Framework® provides the ADOMS approach for the adaptive enterprise value chain, which is made of following five capabilities: -  Adapting  (to changes) -  Defining  (an adaptive capability) -  Operating  (an adaptive capability ) -  Managing  (an adaptive capability) -  Supporting  (an adaptive capability) The adapting capability offer services (e.g. context awareness, enterprise architecture assessment, rationalisation, realisation, and unrealisation) to scan, sense, interpret, ana

Adaptive thinking is imperative to survive and thrive in this amazing period of change. Being adaptive requires the ability to actively scan and identify changes (internal and external) based on both the intuitions and analytics, and effectively respond to such changes for continuous efficiency (operations and improvement) and innovation (growth and transformation). See figure 1 from Gill (2015) – Adaptive Cloud Enterprise Architecture Book. Figure 1.  The Gill Framework® V3.0 – Adapting to change (from Gill 2015) Adaptive thinking is a complex  phenomenon  and has several facets. This post discusses the following key elements of “ adaptive thinking ” (based on Gill 2013; Gill 2015; Gill et al. 2015). Agility Analytics Service Science Design Thinking Resiliency Systems Thinking Agility is the ability of an adaptive entity that is responsive, flexible, fast (to accommodate expected or unexpected changes rapidly), lean (follows the shortest time span, uses
