I wonder if it could be a bit simpler. I feel that many global organisations have lost the values I would most wish contextualising an open space, self-organising and networking age
Love of context being one -connecting individual and organisational context -valuing context true behaviours before other measures Transparency another -look for next conflict it and resolve before it compounds across system look for gaps between silos , especially silos of organisations (the opposite of economic profiteering from externalities) Open ( ie the way that learning can multiply beyond zero-sum) If we could list and profile strands of the (say) 5 values we believe make for the most human and sustainable organisations, we might find these values map back from what we rate as progress when an open space delivers outstanding organisational or communal progress For sure there's an aspect of evolutionary newness this, but to the extent that many big organisations have lost trust and humanity, there is also something as old as humanity , truth, love itself that needs restoring In fact if you ask a few friends to describe leaders who they most treasured working with, the qualities of what humans want from leaders are as old as the hills, its just these qualities seem to be getting rarer and rarer wherever people are under time pressure and don't respect the human in the relationships of organisation Chris macrae [email protected], www.valuetrue.com -----Original Message----- From: OSLIST [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Artur Silva Sent: 19 July 2004 00:58 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Is there a need to hold space for people to ask the question, "what' Doug: --- "Douglas D.

Evolution, as something that happens at the edge of chaos, is never conscient to the species that follow (suffer?) it. So I wonder what a "conscious evolution" would mean...
