Re: spontaneous order

G'day Michael and All In my take the notion of spontaneous order fits well with the idea that organisations are complex responding systems rather than adapting systems. A nice article on this, 'How stories affect human action in organisations ' (with a focus on Ralph Stacey's thinking) can
