In reply to Jon Husband.

As you note, the idea that there's a threshold degree of ‘stability’ just around the corner, is a tough assumption to break, Jon. That's why I keep repeating that we have to adapt to life in perpetual Beta. I see two major barriers to this. Few people really understand complexity and few think in terms of networks. Both of these mental frameworks are necessary to move into a continuously fluid organizational construct. Practices like personal knowledge management can help, but it really takes new, shared mental models, as Peter Senge explained twenty years ago in The Fifth Discipline.
