Standardized Organizational Operating System, SOOS: a definition
Ismael Olea, 05 Dic. 2007
For web referencing I add here a whole entry devoted to an English SOOS definition:
- Standardized Organizational Operating System, SOOS
- «Organizational solution, open, convergent, standardized, compound by processes fully specified + a technology platform + self-learning mechanisms all in an open sourced and massive distribution.»
In more detail:
- Solution
- A solution is compound of people, processes and technology.
- organizational
- Organizational development is about performing, development and effectivity of human organization. An organization is two or more persons with one or more common goals.
- open
- in the sense of «systems theory», open to externals energy flows (in the most abstract sense).
- convergenty
- aim to convergence with existing solutions in order to reduce complexity (see Tainter) and the paradox of the election.
- estandardized
- Full support and vocation of adopting standards, in the open sense proposed by Ken Kretchmer and the European Interoperability Framework.
- processes
- From ISO 9000:2000 a process is a: set of activities mutually related or interacting, which transforms inputs items into results.
- fully specified
- as procedures, as in ISO 9000:2000: specified way to carry out an activity or process.
- technology platform:
- Wordnet says: the combination of a particular computer and a particular operating system.
- self-learning mechanisms
- meaning the mechanisms to explore the knowledge and the know-how from the abstract high level to the gory details for learning with the minimal operation costs.
- open sourced
- for example in the sense of Open Source Initiative promotes.
- massive
- able to be popularized and distributed for the SMO sector, applying the Pareto Principle (rule of 80-20) to be commoditized.
