The document discusses entropy in human systems and organizations. It defines entropy as a thermodynamic concept referring to the unavailability of a system's thermal energy and the tendency towards disorder. It notes that all organizations are complex human systems that are tending towards disorder due to entropy. It asks what can be done to improve things and discusses that agility practices can help by shifting systems in multiple ways at once, recognizing humans are human, maximizing diversity, and supporting people through coaching to create safety within the system.

@joperold Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States, running from 1958 through 1963. An early highlight of the Space Race, its goal was to put a man into Earth orbit and return him safely

@joperold 2. lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder. "a marketplace where entropy reigns supreme" 1. a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system. "the second law of thermodynamics says that entropy always increases with time"
@joperold SO if all organisations are complex human systems and they are all in state of tending towards disorder, what can we do to make it better, and what are the agility parts that can help.
@joperold 1. Stop thinking its a process problem. Its not. 2. Shift the system in multiple ways at once. Organic Agility 3. Realise and deeply understand, that the humans in your system are human. 4. Maximise our diversity and really pay attention to it. 5. Start to recognise the value of coaching and of people who are working with and supporting the human system. 6. Support the system and create Safety
@joperold Thank - you !!!!
