Different stakeholders find themselves and think in different contexts. These contexts interact. In order to understand any service, it is first necessary to analyze the agents (stakeholders) who are related to, affected by, or can influence this service. Thus, using the Organize diamond shifts the focus to agent analysis, thereby gaining a better understanding of how agents behave in a multi-contextual environment. Diamond Organize is also known as Diamond of Agent-Team Organization and can adapt to changing context. Organizing an agent or multiple agents in the form of a team means that they are trying to achieve some goal. In order for them to succeed, they must perform various activities that will bring them closer to this goal. Sets of activities can be performed either once - as an action, or repeatedly - as a "stream of activities". All these elements and the relationships between them are shown in the Organization diamond.
Agent
A living entity (a person) or an organized group of such entities (a team, an organization). The Agent is the focal point of the Organize diamond. In relation to other elements, it takes on different roles (individual lines in the diamond model).
Goal
End goal. The goal can be filled with actions or flow. Possible target-agent relationships:
– follower: the agent follows the target
– establisher: the agent is the author of the given goal
Activity
An action performed by an agent that helps it achieve a goal. Possible activity-agent relationships:
– superior: the agent evaluates the result of the activity
– author: the agent created the topic of the activity
– collaborator: the agent participates in the activity
– learner: the agent follows the activity in order to gain knowledge for the future
Each activity must be part of an action or flow. Possible relationships between them are:
– covering: a set of activities covers the action
– focusing: the set of activities focuses on flow
Action
A set of activities that help fulfill a goal and are performed only once. Possible action-agent relationships:
– organizer: the agent creates or edits the action
– member: the agent only participates in the action
Possible action-goal relationships:
– reaching: the action or actions contribute to the achievement of the goal
– fulfilling: not all goals are known from the beginning, an action using this line can define new goals
Flow
A set of activities that help fulfill a goal and are performed repeatedly. Possible flow and agent relationships:
– organizer: the agent creates or edits the flow
– member: the agent only participates in the flow
Possible relationships between flow and goal:
– reaching: flow or flows contribute to reaching the goal
– fulfilling: not all goals are known from the beginning. Flow can define new targets using this line
Lines -compsite, -BS and detail
They make it possible to break down a specific element into smaller elements, to create a hierarchical decomposition.
R0n-hrany
Slúžia na zmenu kontextu. To, čo je akcia alebo flow v jednom kontexte, môže byť v inom kontexte aktivita.
Rnn-hrany
Slúžia na zobrazenie agenta, aktivity a cieľa v rozličných kontextoch.
