Strategic coordination models

Strategic coordination models refer to high-level frameworks or systems that define how distributed parts of an organization or network align, coordinate, and make decisions to achieve shared objectives. These models address:

Governance structure – how decisions are made (e.g., hierarchical, holonic, consensus-based)

Role and responsibility mapping – who does what, where, and how in relation to others

Information and feedback flows – how data, insights, and signals move across the system

Resource coordination – how resources (time, money, people, assets) are allocated across units

Adaptation mechanisms – how the system updates itself in response to change or feedback

In the Holonic context, strategic coordination models would describe how nested holons interact, delegate authority, resolve decisions, and maintain coherence without centralization. They provide the scaffold for operational systems to be implemented effectively and adaptively.

In this context, multiscale refers to governance processes that operate simultaneously across multiple levels of organization—such as individuals, teams, departments, organizations, networks, or entire ecosystems.

Applied to your Holonic Coordination Dashboard, multiscale governance means:

Proposals and decisions can be scoped and resolved at different levels (e.g., within a single holon, across roles, or spanning a network-of-networks).

Each scale is semi-autonomous but interconnected—supporting local decision-making while remaining aligned with broader systemic goals.

It reflects holarchic structure, where smaller scales are embedded in larger ones (like cells → organs → body → community).

So “enabling multiscale governance processes” conveys:

Governance that adapts to scope, role, and context—whether at the micro or macro level—while maintaining systemic coherence.
