Nature of Heart

Complexity Theory and Organizational Life

In these chaotic times it seems that the success of business professionals today requires unique approaches to achieve the increasingly challenging goals of their organizations. New ways are needed to think about organizational change and process. Experiences that expand the thinking of one person, or bring a group of diverse thinkers to a place of shared meaning, are ones that will add significantly to the creativity and innovation of an organzation.

Although there are a number of books that discuss chaos and complexity theory and its organizational implications, missing is the translation of these theories so they can be used to make a difference in the daily lives of individuals and organizations.

I believe that nature can facilitate the translation of these theories into practice. The Nature of Heart website and the book, Invisible Currents—Nature's Lessons for the Mind and Heart, suggest ways that nature can be used as a resource in this translation.

Do you agree or disagree with this perspective? Whether you agree or disagree, I'd be interested in your reasoning and alternative suggestions.
