Abstract
Among formalisms used to model complex systems and organisations, the GRAI Grid has a special status because it focuses on the decisional aspects of the management of systems. The GRAI grid defines the points where decisions are made (decision centres) and the information relationships among these. Models built using the grid allow the analysis and design of how decisions are co-ordinated and synchronised in the enterprise.
