Intended use and ordinary non-use

Use this framework when an intended contribution requires deliberate change to an organization’s relations or capability, or when such a change creates material consequences. Enter OCE.17 when the continuation or renewal of OCE practice among practitioners is the working question. Use one pattern or a small cooperating set.

Do not use it merely because Work occurs inside an organization, a manager makes a routine decision, an operating flow needs coordination, one person needs capability development, or a product requires engineering. Use the practice that owns that question; return a result to OCE only when an organization-change decision needs it.
