Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-12 00:00:00 William Baker Wow, what a book! It is a beautifully written book (Harrison Owen is one of my favorite authors). And the book's message is profound. Open some space and let self-organization work for you. Harrison Owen suggests that there is no such thing as a non-self-organizing natural (or human) system. If this is the case, then the issue is less about designing systems that are efficient and effective, and more about letting the magic of self-organization happen all by itself.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-12-23 00:00:00 Brandon Owens Harrison Owen is a man before his time. Thankfully the rest of the world is now starting to catch up. "in 1979 I submitted a paper on the subject [organizational culture] to a well known and respected journal, only to have it rejected with the note that the whole idea of culture in organizations was so far out as to be not useful. Times have changed, and indeed the mention of organizational culture is now perhaps more commonplace than organization transformation." ~ Harrison Owen
