In particular, I like your characterisation of chaos as "A time when things can be reassembled in creative ways to respond to the disturbance between the organization and its environment" as I think this highlights the evolutionary/selective nature of change in such environments, and the fact that risk management strategies must be adaptive rather than predictive in order to be effective (this is something I am currently exploring in detail in a series of articles at http://julianeverett.wordpress.com) cheers Julian - Julian Everett Mon, 19 May 2008 03:18:41 +0100 http://www.stevenmsmith.com/my-blogs/change/a-wild-horse-called-chaos.html#comment-74 I agree with your post Steve. I look at this as with human teenagers. I have had three in my house in the last ten years. CHAOS - but it is something they are going through - a period of enormous change in many ways. I found what worked better was conversation. Stop yelling, sit next to my son, and talk with him. I felt better, he felt better, we got through it all. - Dwayne Phillips Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:16:40 +0100
