Organizations need flexible and adaptable processes to navigate complex challenges in today's...
A dynamic Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is not a literal living entity but rather a concept used to describe a particular characteristic of SOPs. The term "dynamic" implies that the SOP is designed to evolve and adapt over time, much like a living organism.
In a traditional sense, an SOP is a documented set of instructions or guidelines that outlines how specific tasks or processes should be performed within an organization. However, a dynamic SOP goes beyond a static document; it incorporates feedback, continuous improvement, and updates to ensure that it remains relevant and effective. Imagine an SOP that receives real-time feedback from your simulations/tabletop exercises and real events - now that's almost a living, breathing entity…
By treating the SOP as a dynamic entity, organizations acknowledge the need for flexibility and responsiveness in their operational procedures. The idea is to create a system that can grow, learn, and improve, similarly to how living entities adapt to their environments.
