Scheduling, sequencing, getting into a non-frustrating "order".
Ability to handle or prevent disruptive conflicts.
Coordination function is System Two in Stafford Beer's Viable System Model.
System Two is a service to the System One activities to help them run smoothly. So, our System Two tools are likely to include: our diaries or planners, our address books, our checkbooks, filing systems, instruction manuals for our tools, training or certifications that need to be renewed – even the alarm clocks and tickler files that tell us it is time to move. And, of course, there are the System Two activities that go with being human: our habits, eating, health and fitness, grooming, rest and relaxation.
The first problem that arises is that the System One activities may get in one another’s way, causing oscillations whereby the individual scrambles to deal with schedule glitches, budget disruptions and problems with enabling infrastructure – computers and other tools that help keep things in order.
