SOFT SYSTEMS METHODOLOGY IN THE E-LEARNING FIELD OF MILITARY DESIGN THINKING

Summary/Abstract: Innovation in any field is now more than ever one of the most delicate and challenging topics of the 21st century. The multidimensionality of the contemporary reality results from understanding the connections made between the societal domains through the actions of the actors involved in the field of security. This requires redefining the specialist in the field of national security and implicitly the educational system designed according to the model of the connections between the societal fields. Starting from the hypothesis that the reality of the relations existent in a system of systems on societal fields, involves three directions of development of the military specialist: the military analyst, the military planner and the military decision maker, we resorted to an extrapolation of the concept of “soft systems methodology in the field of military design thinking”. Establishing the reference database, training and working with the analysis tools are only some of the fundamental components that underlie the training of the military specialist in the process of making the best decisions in a crisis situation. Obtaining an expected result or achieving the desired end state in a military operation implies going through the algorithm of identifying the connections between the objectives established in the planning process. Risk management in a military operation in a societal context requires the positioning of the military specialist in the middle of a system of educational systems based on the concept of collaborative work on the E-learning platform as a projection of the connections of the societal fields in the area of security.
