Partnerships – between & inside Agencies – is the most important area in the field of national security

Jointness
• The term “Jointness"
was born in the US
Department of
Defense.
• It express the
highest level of
Cooperation.
10
• In the recent days you learned that a complex system is
characterized by the dependence between its
components!
• Therefore, Jointness has a critical impact on its
effectiveness.
• However, for its components is an option only. They can
act in a selfish way too!
11
Today and tomorrow, we will try to understand why!
We will investigate Jointness in many areas of
National Security.

The first one describes a natural reaction to changes;
The other: a condition imposed from above, often against the interests of the sub-system
20
Self Organization is one of the most important processes in Complex Systems!
20
It is very important to National Security too!
22
Unwillingness to clash and the relative ease to follow someone else
Pattern that attracts more and more people and vehicles that followed
25
Complex systems in nature behave similarly to human’s complex systems
Therefore, we will find self-organizing, both in the wild and in organizations
2626
They collaborate and influence each other in several ways; Affect the external environment and are affected by it
The classic example is the Self Organization of the genes
2828
Dawkins calls Self Organization in nature “amutually beneficial relationship between two different species”

• The Ants grow a fungus garden and
nurture it. They even protect them from
bacteria.
• In return, the fungi deconstruct for ants
leaves the cellular proteins and sugars,
and neutralize the toxins of protection of
the tree from which the leaves were
taken. In addition, they grow doughy
lumps, that feed the ants.
32
32
During this symbiosis, which began fifty million years ago, the ants have lost their enzymes and digestive juices are completely dependent on the fungi;
33
• And the fungi become dependent
in terms of their defense, diets
and even its distribution.
• As evidence, when a colony of
ants split in two, the retiring
camp takes with him a pinch of
fungi, to grow a new fungus
garden…

There are also examples of self-organization between humans and other creatures in nature

37
Departments & Individuals in an organization are interconnected, and conduct joint activities between them
3838
The connections are the infrastructure (the pipes) that pass messages between the system components, such as information, materials and energy.
They determine the strength and quality of the joint activities!
39
Increasing the Jointness between essential departments raises the organization productivity
Deps. with low connectivity
Connected only to management
42
the working connections are the Immune System of the organization…
… because, self-organization is the best
ways to recover from surprises!
43
43
The amount of work connections usually ranges between 25% to
60% of the potential connections, depending on the type and size
organization

45
Working connections need usually minimum suitable conditions to act effectively
• Low hierarchies;
• Freedom of enterprise;
• Lack of organizational anxiety of any kind;
• Relatively large number of participants;
• High participation;
National security organizations are different!
46
Therefore, bureaucratic organizations suppress self-organization!
Typically, only bureaucratic organizations with existential anxiety will cooperate!
47
Therefore, we can find self-organization in military & bureaucratic organizations (in matters of essence) usually, far from the center ...
47
48
But, when there are exceptions and the system allows self-organization
It saves them many
times, from lost
situations ... For
example, Napoleon &
Marshal Dabo and the
impossible victory of
Jena & Auerstedt
49
China's transition to a capitalist economy became possible, because the leader, Deng, did not stop the process of self organization – the privatization of communes
50
In Cuba, poverty forced the government to allow citizens to open restaurants. The result: a huge self-organization!
52
Community policing - our next lecture topic - was an attempt to motivate self-organization in the community

Co-opetition is the combination of:
• Cooperation &
• Competition
Business firms have fought for decades for creating an advantage, & in the same time, they collaborated.
57
Brandenburger Adam M. ,
Nalebuff Barry J. (1996),
Co-Opetition

This is a very good book!
59
Criminal organizations cooperate in competition;
And so law
enforcement
organizations
(when they
cooperate ...)

Dan Lewin – Microsoft’s vice President
• 96% of Microsoft’s revenue
is driven through our
partners, and for every $1
of our revenue, our partners
make $7 to $8. We know
venture-backed startups are
fundamental to Microsoft’s
long-term success

“… We have between 7 - 11 business partners in each product. It's our business model, this is why we are so big: there are so many people and organizations who work with us. "

Basic conditions to establish Jointness
Jointness can be measured at different levels

Conversely, the absence of joint activities is destructive to the system and prevents effectiveness!
I am so pleased that the hole is not on our
side...

But in complex systems, any purpose has a positive aspect (to gain power) and a negative aspect (to prevent power from others) ...
Therefore, powerful
factors are
reluctant to
cooperate!

Factors in the organization can joint forces to prevent outputs’ uploading or changing norms of work!
