Arthur Koestler; holonic manufacturing systems researchers including Herman Van Brussel, 1967
The origin of the framework, as the directory records it. The mark grades the origin, not this page.
The directory entry this score was read from. Umbrex is a consultancy network; its summary is the reference, not a primary source.
Scored against the twelve cells, it loads four: Structure, Authority, Coordination, and Learning. The other eight it leaves to you.

This is not a summary of the framework. Umbrex has one; the link under Sources goes there.
What is the smallest unit that can own a customer outcome end to end?
Which decisions may an agent make alone, and who is able to stop it?
What synchronizes the work when there is no room and half the team is not a person?
How does tacit judgment become reusable, and who owns the loop that has to close?
