Jim Sinur Performance-driven culture key for pattern-based strategy - IT online Some useful concept usage can be found bellow: The Predictive Accounting Revolution And where it all began: Strategy Theory Initiative" (STI) The other one is the adaptive processes: The agenda - Michael Hammer 's last  book When Should a Process Be Art, Not Science? - Joseph M. Hall and M. Eric Johnson Some very interesting points about the subject here: Gartner Group predicts Adaptive Process Trend - Max J.
