Introduction to SEMPER power-model
SEMPER is a framework that's used to map out effectiveness issues in a context, and identify appropriate interventions to resolve them. Its core is a simple yet disturbing dichotomy: whilst the physics definition of power is 'the ability to do work', many social contexts would seem to use a definition that power is the 'ability to _avoid_ work'. Therein lies the source of many real-world challenges in enterprise-architecture and elsewhere...
This video provides a simple visual overview of the impacts of that dichotomy on an organisation's effectiveness - and how the tactics we choose in management and the like may either make things better or worse, for everyone.
