Thats what I call chaos, when people move into such deep confusion that they let go of their present conceptions of how to solve a problem. When they move into that place of not knowing, and stay there for a while, what happens is that the process of self organization kicks in. Living systems, when confronted with change, have the capacity to fall apart so that they can reorganize themselves to be better adapted to their current environment. We always knew that things fell apart, we didnt know that organisms have the capacity to reorganize, to self-organize. We didnt know this until the Noble-Prize-winning work of Ilya Prigogine in the late 1970s. But you cant self-organize, you cant transform, you cant get to bold new answers unless you are willing to move into that place of confusion and not-knowing -- which I call chaos. Margaret J. Wheatley
