ANARCHY

From misunderstandings to uncertainties, anguish swells and defense mechanisms are erected. In the face of current events, stress mounts and distress spreads. Welcome to the reign of distrust. Entrenched behind inflexible and unshakeable convictions, padded in our echo chamber, our capacity to listen is reduced. We abandon dialogue, we embrace consensus, we isolate ourselves.

And nothing is getting better: discord is growing, rifts are widening to extremes, and hatred is showing its nefarious face. In the world of the worst, humans forget themselves, shadows triumph and reality fades.

Non-deterministic management impact on Irreversibility, entropy, and fitness

Based on the book “the origin of wealth” I believe that are three conditions a business need to fulfill to show economic value and be successful. Irreversibility, a business must put energy to transform any input to any output. The result of this effort must be irreversible. If it is reversible, no value created over time. Entropy, the business should decrease entropy internally with increased…

Use Chaos Theory and Complex system principles as a baseline for management

Both Chaos Theory (CT) and Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) used by science to explain how complex systems operate as well as successfully surviving and thriving in a complex environment. In the last three months, I posted how to use those principles as a foundation to a management system that can deal better with complexity. This post brings it all together.

Each principle is reefrences…

Non-Deterministic #Management (NDM) – Random Interactions

One of the concepts of chaos mathematics and complex system is phase transition or tipping point (AKA bifurcation). This concept argues and proves that when a certain ratio (0.5) between elements in a system and their interaction reached, the system will experience a significant change. A known simulation of this concept is the button and thread where randomly buttons are connected with threads,…

Communication is a systematic problem!

It is very rare to hear about a group that was asked to list their current challenges and communication didn’t come as one of the first three opportunities. Communication is a common issue for organizations for a long time, yet whatever organizations try to do to resolve communication issues, year after year it is still the most concerning area for people who are working together to reach a…

Non-Deterministic #Management (NDM) – Struggle twice for improvements.

One of the characters of chaos theory is universality. Universality means that it doesn’t matter which type of chaos system one is observing; it will follow the same principles and have the same characteristics as any other chaos system.

One of those characters is vital to understand as it has a significant impact on any change that will introduce to a system. Once a change introduced to a…

Non-Deterministic #Management (NDM) – Co-evolution

The concept of Co-evolution is simple to understand yet profound to any organization. With co-evolution, elements in a system can change based on their interactions with one another and with the environment. Additionally, patterns of behavior can change over time (MIT – http://web.mit.edu/esd.83/www/notebook/Complex%20Adaptive%20Systems.pdf).

In organization element of the system are people…
