Understanding complexity has profound humbling impact on the way analysts see the world and try to make sense of the world around us; - if you understand "emergence", "feedback", self-organizing" and "multiple descriptions", an analyst would realise that his/her analysis of a situation or issue can never be neutral, objective, complete or permanent. We can only try to explain from a certain perspective, not even knowing what effect our perspective might have on the system we are trying to explain or on our own understanding. An intel briefing or report is therefor only a snapshot/freezed frame in time, and NOT the whole story. I recommend that students look at Cilliers, Paul. 2007. in AALTONEN, Mika, "The Third Lens: multi-ontology sense-making and strategic decision-making" and Bennet, Alex and David. 2004. "Organizational survival in the New World: The Intelligent Complex Adaptive System" or Eve Mittleton-Kelly http://www.complexityanddesign.net/docs/EMK_The_Principles_of_Complexity.pdfDalenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02386000118314746069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569772432953120875.post-41224926011361632422009-04-24T10:33:00.000-04:002009-04-24T10:33:00.000-04:00Deborah,

I loved Albert-Laszlo Barabasi's book Linked - it is sitting right by me. I think studying Peter Senge's learning organization books, including The Fifth Discipline and The Dance of Change and other change facilitation/management may also turn out to helpful.Deborah Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559407566100557136noreply@blogger.com
