The Intelligent Organization Conference (Chapter 2 The Reductionist Trap) / Stafford Beer

Stafford Beer creator of Management Cybernetics explains how the Reductionist Paradigm traps us with its language. Organizations continue to teach the same type of structure not realizing that change is everywhere and that a new model and a new way of looking at things is necessary to escape the trap.

I must away to "part 3".

[LukeCoulson]

Neat but at 7:16 he say's (about a "new modle"); "and I am going to try and suggest one to you,,,,; In the absence of that....". it's anithesis (a 2000 year old quotaion) was not to my expectation (wildest dream), Is one to presume that the new modle be defined by the inverse of the quoted paradigm? Was it he (Pretronius). who wrote "Satyricon (The Fragments)? Cybernetics gets a sense of humor, perhaps. Well done that man.
