Abstract
We need constructs to better model enterprises self governing system, by modeling enteprises as self-observing systems and not merely as observed systems. We introduce the concept of Enterprise Operating System (EOS), as the emerging enterprise self governing system, which turns enterprises into autonomous, intelligent and viable entities. Our assumption is that all organizations, evolve to higher complex levels, whereby at some point “organizational autonomous life” emerges as a reification, at a macro systemic level, of the social-technical network of its autonomous agents. This reification is precisely realized by the emergence of the EOS, enabling the enterpise closure, characterized by its completeness and self-reference, and the preservation of its wholeness and distinctiveness. The EOS should be able to compile in near real time its position and trajectory to assess if is in line with its viable states set and trigger/call for correction actions and self transformations whenever needed. Our research goal is to develop a universal EOS (UEOS) model to design, diagnose and improve the EOS of any organization, by certifying that its particular EOS includes all of the UEOS´s required mechanisms and properties.
