Organizational Intelligence · Layer 02 of 6
Planning + Coordination Layer
"Coordination creates intelligence."
What the Planning + Coordination Layer Is
The Planning and Coordination Layer turns goals into plans and routes each step to the right agent, person, workflow, or tool.
Turns a goal into a plan, then routes each step to the right agent. This is where coordination begins, and coordination is what creates intelligence.
Why It Matters
Coordination is what creates intelligence. A group of capable agents with no coordination produces noise. The same agents coordinated around a plan produce a result no single agent could.
Agents
Agents in This Layer
Turns goals into plans
Planner Agent
Converts goals into executable plans, selects strategies, defines workflows, and adapts when conditions change.
Routes work to the right place
Routing Agent
Selects the best agents, models, tools, and workflows for each task while optimizing cost, speed, and quality.
Orchestrates execution
Manager Agent
Orchestrates execution across specialized agents, manages dependencies, tracks progress, and ensures objectives are completed.
Example
What It Looks Like in Practice
Given a launch goal, this layer breaks it into tracks, assigns each to the best-suited agent, and keeps the work aligned as the mission runs.
Common Failure Modes
When this layer breaks
- Plans with no owner for each step
- Routing that ignores cost and load
- Coordination that becomes a bottleneck
- No way to adapt when conditions change
