"The accumulating failures at
organizational change can be traced to a fundamental
but mistaken ....
You can never
direct a living system, you can only disturb
it.” -Margaret Wheatley
I would suggest that we can extend,
and should, this axiom to our own selves, as organizational
systems.
The reason that design is so
critical is that in order to approach design, you must look at
the
system dynamics.
Once the systems, governing
dynamics are considered, the design informs.
Now just because we think about and
in many cases feel design...does that mean we actually affect
the solutions we need?
That is where
EES comes
in... and how we look at how design perturbs the current
system, or how the design of the current
system perturbs those in which it comes into view.
Design is of and by itself an
important idea.
It evokes many ways in which to
understand how something, and for me, is defined by the "shape
of things to come" as we discover the shape of things that
were, and are....
