Abstract:

Based on a non-deterministic model – which implies prolonged processes, incorporates multiple unconventional actors and values progressive strategy building through non-linear trajectories – this paper describes transverse approaches and formats of relation and operation for installing locally managed consensual processes. The model’s central goals are to generate consensual diagnostics, provide continual research-based feedback as a basis for decision-making, define positioning and support strategic planning. This stimulus and guidance of local actors in their strategic decisions requires an interactive and incremental logic deployed through successive approximations.
