Yes. My old teacher called it "readiness" - is the system ready, is the
leadership ready? (Instead of elaborate organizational assessments.) He may
have heard that from Marv Weisbord. I get the feel of a buildup of energy
such that the time is ripe.

Building on Barry’s point, is it a felt sense of urgency, where people in the
system have a felt sense they need to do something / take action.
