Possible operations is a project that explores the possibility that new technology enabled ways of operating could be anticipated and systematically captured by design science research. We conceptualize technological possibility in operations management, distinguishing the possible operations from the impossible, the feasible from the currently infeasible, the available from constrained, and the actualized from the unrealized. The expected scientific breakthroughs of the research is improved methodology for developing impactful research agendas and policy recommendations.
