Sandy reminded me that we have to reinvent the way we do business, taking a clue from complexity theory (she and Cynbe attended a recent complexity conference at the University of Texas), facilitating robust diversity and and adaptive nonlinear processes, "building at the top of the hurricane," remembering that complex adaptive systems are pattern forming and self organizing and that complex systems are built from simple components. I'm getting this from her notes: "You make a complex system reliable by making it independent of its parts" and "Any system that depends upon data invariance must be self-converging toward stability, if it is to be robust. If it breaks data invariance, it should bend to restore operating... what makes a system correct is to go from correct state to correct state."
