It's interesting that having just spent 3 weeks in various organisations (mainly Public Services…shhh!) there is such an unhealthy obsession with order, neatness and structure. It's just not human or real! Creativity is as a direct result of dis-order, and messiness, so how do we think we can be adaptive, creative and innovative each day when the organisation constrains this very fundamental element.

I know there will be people out there shouting at this, but when you really look at how we live, operate and think, then you will see that the organisations obsession is counter-intuitive. If everything is neat, ordered and safe then we cannot change, there is no need.

There are so many examples of how, mistakes, chaos, disorder and disruption creates a new way of doing things or new ideas or products, but yet we still feel this should happen in the environment of linear, cause and effect world of mechanics.... How can we change?
