LA COGNICIÓN ESTRATÉGICA: APRENDIZAJE, METACOGNICIÓN Y DINÁMICA ESTRATÉGICA-OPERACIONAL

Every human organization, of any kind, can be considered as a complex psychosociotechnical systems (CPSTS) which in its process of Strategic-Operational Dynamics should continuously challenge its mental maps to avoid getting trapped in paradigms that could have been succesfull in the past but that perhaps today are not appropiate any more. This is what we call “Strategic Cognition”.The most important mental maps are those with which the Organization formulates its strategy and its fundamental purposes and the mental maps with which goals pyramides that link those fundamental purposes with concrete action are derived.In this sense, every strategy, fundamental process and goals pyramid are considered as “provisory interpretative constructs” that should be approached from several learning levels and theories.These levels are: 1. Learning, 2. Learning to learn, 3. Learning to unlearn, 4. Learning to relearn, and 5. Learning new ways of learning. These theories are: Direct theory, Interpretative theory and Constructivist theory.To internalice these concepts in human organizations, a new approach to Cognitive Psychology is required: Strategic Cognition, in which the CPSTS is the catalyst of the mental maps challenge to achieve an understanded, shared and engaging Strategic Cognition that maximices de Collective Intelligence of that system.
