Dear At, Dear Alan and learners
> Peter Senge writes in the Appendix to the Fifth Discipline on the 11
> essences of a LO. It is possible to combine some of them (as I did several
> years ago in our LO-dialogue) into seven essences reminiscent of the 7Es.
> Whether the 11 essences of a LO or the 7Es, they have to be in shape for
> that Ordinary Organisation (OO) to emerge into a LO. One of the major
> characterestics of that LO will be its Metanoia, according to Senge. The
> LO differs from the OO since the OO has merely "orthonoia" (ordinary
> thoughts).
I remember...
