Great example of how systems are everywhere!!

This video of Royskopp's song - Remind Me, is a great visual example of how systems and subsystems are everywhere.

Hats off to Sam Carpenter, author of Work the System for flagging up this link.

Are you part of the problem...or solution?

I've always loved this quote by Einstein, and I use it a lot in my creativity and conflict resolution workshops and training .

The quote has taken on an added dimension during Spiral Dynamics training I undertook in New York last year. Here is my new take on Einstein's quote...

"While you cannot solve today's problems from the same level of conciousness that created them...you DO need to present the solution in a form that can be grasped by (have the buy-in of) the level of conciousness that created it. Otherwise it won't stick."

This was a real personal 'Aha!' moment. I'm wondering how you make sense of it?

I tend to use doodles to visual ideas and concepts. So at the prompting of Anita, my partner, I will be uploading some of my conceptual doodles to this blog.

Here's the first one. This was doodled as a result of the recent talk in my BNI chapter about credit-crunches and downturns.

If you would like to see more, please let me know...the encouragement will keep me going.
