Sensemaking for Strategy in an Agent-based Organization

In order to survive and progress in an environment where the commercial rules are constantly evolving and overwhelmed with data, agent-based organizations are forced to apply new strategies and methods in an attempt to offer products and services that are in line with the market demand. To any system designer, it is especially difficult to apply some of the key characteristics in the agent-based organization's dynamic capability. These capabilities include an organization's sensemaking ability as well as the organizational effectiveness in executing new found opportunities in a radically changing environment. In this article, we will examine in greater details the design concept on strategy of agent-based organizational sensemaking process. Three dimensions of the concept will include agents in each level of the system (horizontal), agents interaction between system levels (vertical) and finally, dynamic adjustment of the system itself (dynamics). Through these dimensions we hope to apply a systematic understanding as to how these agent-based organizations formulate successful and innovative strategies via effective sensemaking and sensegiving process design.
