You all play a part in thewhole construction. Your goal is to increase performance!
70 percent of all strategies and projects fail.
We’re still not happy. Maybe we should work toward a greater purpose?
We can help with that!

I have a great idea!Now you must all change for the greater good.
Fads often fail to deliver on their promises, a factor thatcontributes to their short life cycles and rapid decline.
At the same time the world is getting more complex.

Unless the organization learns to increase its health as a living complex system.
Complexity theory is […] about the dynamics of change in a system.
[…] a new theory of business thatplaces people and relationships into dramatic relief.
I think the next century will be the century of complexity.
Interesting!But how do we increase our health and become happier?
We can help with that!

OK, do whatever you want. As long as you allow the community to benefit from it.
But, different communityleaders suggest fixing things in different ways...

It seems we’re making progress, but...
Maybe we can do even betterwhen we really understand complexity thinking.
Only variety can absorb variety.
Ashbys law of requisite variety is as important tomanagers as Einsteins law of relativity to physicists.
When applied toorganizations, it hasbeen called requisite complexity.
1) Address complexity with complexity The complexity of a system must be adequate to the complexity of the environment that it finds itself in.
2) Use a diversity of perspectives Complexity itself is antimethodology. It is against "one size fits all."
3) Assume dependence on context Best practice is always past practice.
4) Assume subjectivity and coevolution What you measure is what you get.
5) Anticipate, adapt, explore Evolutionary systems by their nature involve experimentation.
6) Develop models in collaboration Those formulating the abstraction are making a gesture whose meaning can only emerge in many, many local interactions.
7) Shorten the feedback cycle The only way to win is to learn faster than anyone else.
8) Steal and tweak We usually think of innovation as inventing new things, but we may be smarter to think of it as recombining old ones.
Complexity Tips
There’s nothing as practical as good theory.
Now use the complexity your organization already has.
So, how can we solve the remaining problems?
Sorry, you’reon your own now!

What exactly is the organization?
You might be able to climbthis high, but only with a healthy organization.

The English verb “to manage” was originally derived from the Italianmaneggiare, meaning to handle and trainhorses. […] This original meaning merged with the French term menage, or household.
Management is about human beings. Its task is to make people capable of joint performance […]. This is whatorganization is all about, and it isthe reason that management is the critical, determining factor.
Management is too important to be left to the managers. We all participate in the workout.
It’s not about reaching a certainlevel. It’s about increasing health, so you can keep climbing.
Aha! Steal healthy practices, Use in safe experiments,Learn as fast as possible, Adapt to your needs, repeat...
