“Enormous managerial energy… [has] been devoted to turnarounds, rescues, and massive ‘change’ programs, yet isn’t the real goal to avoid a crisis-sized transformation problem by creating a capacity for continuous renewal deep within the company?” Hamel & Prahalad, Competing for the Future (1996) © Tim Harle

The very idea of boundaries changes profoundly. Rather than being a self-protective wall, boundaries become the place of meeting and exchange. We usually think of these edges as the means to define separateness, defining what’s inside and what’s outside. But in living systems, boundaries are something quite different. They are… an important place of exchange and growth. Meg Wheatley, Finding Our Way (2005) © Tim Harle
