Greetings dear Anne,

What a request!

I have recently helped an org to make a transformation into a "tacit LO".
How successful that will be, only time will tell. I use the term "tacit
LO" because i did not have the guts to tell its management team and its
members to study this and that information sources. People here in South
Africa have become disgusted with claims leading to nothing. What they did
desire, was to transform the activities of the organisation into
meaningful and rewarding ways. Without this desire i would not have been
able to accomplish anything.

I am sorry that i cannot comply to your request. I am now suspecting
strongly that information cannot do the trick when any transformation
involves an emergence.

With care and best wishes
