SCALIM is a doctoral leadership model for crisis contexts shaped by artificial intelligence, autonomous agents, data-driven decision support, and ethical governance. It keeps human leadership central while using AI to strengthen early warning, sensemaking, coordinated response, recovery, and organizational learning.
The model integrates five connected Sakoane frameworks: SHACL, SLEAF, STALOS, SPACT, and SCARE.

Move from abstract principles to review routines, data controls, model evaluation, and stakeholder impact thinking.
