Direction grows upward from strategy into execution; evidence flows back down to renew the roots — every loop teaches.
Direction grows upward from strategy into intents, playlists and plays. Evidence flows back down to renew the roots.
Every loop teaches the system what to continue, pivot, or stop — and the tree that grows next is shaped by what the last one learned. This is the circulatory system of Symbiosis.
Strategy does not just flow down; evidence flows back up. The OKR informs the intents, but the intents' evidence can revise the OKR.
The intent shapes the plays, but the plays' outcomes reshape the intent. This bidirectional flow is what makes Symbiosis a learning system rather than a planning system.
Traditional approaches are top-down waterfalls of instruction; Symbiosis is a living loop where the bottom continuously informs the top.
Key principles
- Direction grows upward from strategy.
- Evidence flows back down to renew the roots.
- Every loop teaches the system.
- The tree grows — or it dies.
