" life itself as an enterprise", totally agree! In fact, that phrase has, sort of, connected us in the first place.
Perhaps the big plan is 'just' survival? On average it can be said that we find ourselves as the most important entity in the universe. But carrying out this plan is aimed at groups or even individuals.
Interestingly, exactly the same principles apply to your own 'Enterprise of Life' as you, and your own 'Management of the household' where the 'household' is you and your life. That's the whole point of fractality: it applies in the same way (or, more accurately, a 'self-similar' way) basically everywhere.
For example, what is the story that underpins that 'enterprise-of-you', and the shared-story that connects you with others? What are your own vision and values? What are the services that you provide and/or need, and, for the former, how would you design and implement them to express your own vision and values? Who are the stakeholders in your enterprise-as-you, and what are your relationships and inter-responsibilities with them? What types of complexity and uncertainty do you face in your enterprise-as-you, and how would you address those uncertainties? And so on, and so on: it's all the same tools and methods, applied to your own personal context.
(My colleague Joseph Chittenden has done a lot of in-person practice on this: he's used it to pretty much reframe and rebuild not just his personal-business, but also how he interacts with his family and the broader world. He and I really do need to do a book or suchlike on this personal-layer, much like Tim Clark worked with Osterwalder and Pigneur to develop 'Business Model You' from 'Business Model Generation'.)
There is no planet B, so true. With various members of the household holding differing views on how to address the messy abode, we are in dire need of a collaborative plan. Covert cry-babies need to be sent to their rooms to rethink their actions, whilst the rest of us get on with planning the top to bottom household chores.

I recognise the recursive nature.
I'd be interested to know more about applying the tools in a personal capacity, i.e. using them on 'me'.

Thought provoking as always Tom.
Many thanks as always, Robert!
