Harrison and all,
I couldn't help but think of you as I read the latest blogpost below on
trusting the process and "riding the wave" of what is emerging. The blog
itself is from a dear friend and mentor of mine Charles Bower. He is in the
final stages of ALS. He has been blogging about his experie
Greetings all,
I have questions about safety related to self-organization I would love
others thoughts on.
Is it possible for an environment can be too safe to support
self-organization? Can safety be at such a high level that it inhibits or
slows down the self-organizing process?
I'm very inter

Hi Skye,
I am engaged by your observations and questions you ask. To me urgency
connects with the Drive for Fitness condition for self-organization. If you
want something new or different from the status quo to emerge drive for
fitness/ urgency is a huge help/accelerant. In today's day and age o
Jake,
I'm curious what you mean by implement self-organization? My reference
point is that it's all self-organizing regarless of what a leader does and
there are conditions that impact the nature of the self-organizing process
to slow it down to a stand-still (control) or accelerate it etc.

Rob,
That is a beautiful description of self-organization. Thanks for sharing
it.

Yes, and ..this is all part of self-organization. Stability is being
disrupted and people are using the law of two feet to make their choice as
individual agents in the system.

My thought is that they both set the conditions for self-organization.
Our field has not transitioned to fully understanding the power and
potential of self-organization and is just getting glimpses of how to
influence/leverage it.

Passion and urgency are tapping into the same energy. The condition I would
consider is what degree of autonomy to act supports the passion versus the
degree of control preventing action is also present.

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.

Interesting question Leona.
My answer is more about the principles of self-organization underneath
openspace (that I learned from Harrison over lunches and a cocktail or two
at the Glenn Echo Inn) than open space methodology. Open space requires
something to be urgent and important.otherwise
Wonderful note..
Thanks for your constant inspiration, challenge and guidance Harrison.

Building on the constraints conversation.Another lens I look at this same
dynamic through is control. When leaders are establishing constraints they
are often doing so to try to control the situation or outcome. When control
is to tight it inhibits the innovation and emergence that can flow form

What do you think some of the key insights that would come from learning to
live in a self organizing world? AKA Harrison's top ten principles for
living in a self organizing world?
Hope you're having a great summer in Maine and look forward to your
thoughts.

I find the concept of researching self-organization in human systems to
prove that it happens intriguing and I have no idea how one would approach
it since it's all self-organizing and I'm not sure the human perspective of
working / not working etc applies.

Thank you Chris for sharing your perspective from a Canadian in the US who
is not as close to what is actually going on there.
