As long as an organization stays attuned to its environment, it will adapt to changing conditions. However, the most effective adaptations happen in those organizations that engage in the most constructive communication processes and that leverage the tensions associated with unfamiliar terrain. Reality is socially constructed. All the members of the system bring their personal, cultural and professional backgrounds to their daily tasks. Through interaction with one another and with other systems, organizational reality is constructed - both organizational aspirations and the perceived limitations.
Diversity is an asset.
The broadest based solutions are informed by ideas from the margins - the geographically dispersed, the culturally diverse, the organizational fringes and the unindoctrinated. Work crosses cultures. Regardless whether you are bridging organizational or global cultures, new skills and new ways of interacting are necessary. Research is participative. The purpose of research is not to document what was or what is, but what will be.
