6 NO! Unless they learn to change
Are we asking the right questions? Are flops, bytes and bytes-per-second the only issue? How do big machines perform in dynamic changing conditions? Can we design computers that are optimal for an unknown requirement? Can we afford to constantly change our systems from the outside so that we maintain them near optimal? NO!

8 Change is the only constant
product rigid bureaucratic customer market flexible matrix In Context dynamic adaptive In the post industrial revolution era - a product oriented approach was answered by a rigid and bureaucratic organization. Knowledge was minimal at the bottom levels of the organization and theoretically the CEO was the master expert. The entire organization was established on stability and repetition of processes. With the shift of the guiding approach first to be market orientation and later to become customer oriented, the rigid structure was modified by introducing lateral expert nodes that served across the organization bringing specialized knowledge to where it was needed in the process. This enabled a more flexible set-up that could better react to smaller and smaller segmentation of the market addressed by an organization. With time, we have come to view the basic hierarchical structure as composed of professional nodes that must also provide skill and knowledge where it is needed in the process. With the approach now turning to relational marketing driving to a market segment of one - the structure is dissolving - replaced more and more by ad-hoc value adding chains. This is a dynamic process in which each node contributes its added value to ad-hoc processes that answer specific momentary needs. An organizational environment becomes distributed creating a problematic challenge to its managers and process coordinators ©All rights reserved to CollaComp Ltd

11 Tuning to the Waggle BEEt
Decision-making by colonies Forage patch selection by honey bee colonies is an automatic outcome of the simultaneous operation of the following three basic processes: Workers abandon floral patches of relatively low profitability, Workers usually locate new patches by following recruitment dances, not scouting on their own, Workers recruiting only to patches of relatively high profitability. The net effect of these behavior patterns working in concert is a steady, gradual migration of a colony's foragers off poor and onto rich food sources. ©All rights reserved to CollaComp Ltd

Emergence Is what happens when an interconnected system of relatively simple elements self organizes to form more intelligent, more adaptive, higher level behavior ideas that emerge from nature Emergence – Steven Johnson ©All rights reserved to CollaComp Ltd
