This document outlines a manifesto for responsive organizations that are designed to thrive in less predictable environments. It discusses balancing tensions between predictability and unpredictability, profit and purpose, hierarchies and networks, controlling and empowering, and planning and experimentation. Shifting to this new paradigm of responsive organizations requires a systemic approach and drawing from fields like complexity, systems thinking, and Cynefin to balance these tensions.
