Model for Assessing Adaptive Effectiveness Development

The purpose of this manuscript is to propose a Model for Assessing Adaptive Effectiveness (MAAE), to analyze an organisation's response system for contingency or disruptive/crisis events. The model will place emphasis on identifying and connecting the relationships between variables in the organisation affected by the lack of a strategic contingency plan and will design managerial strategies for those times of disruption or crisis. The MAAE model will provide the organisation with a systematic approach to manage disruption and to be proactive rather than reactive. Leadership is a critical element in any crisis, this model will address how leaders can influence situations when human, and technical systems go awry.
