Nonaka’s Ba
The Physical Space
A mental space where we belong and where we are encouraged to experiment
The Relational Space
The people who are here are the right people
The Tacit & Spiritual Space
What is it that wants to emerge here?
Nonaka, Toyama, Scharmer (undated)

The Swan
“ like the swan,
When he nervously lets himself down into the water,
Which receives him gaily
And which flows joyfully under
And after him, wave after wave,
While the swan,
Unmoving and marvellously calm,
Is pleased to be carried, each moment more fully grown,
More like a king, further and further on.”
Rainer Marie Rilke
Translated by Robert Bly
