I have been thinking alot about speed and scale these past couple of weeks. It seems the the world is getting alot smaller and the speedof work is ever quickening. At Tamarack - we call it the Tamarack Tornado - sometimes we are in the quiet - the centre or needle of the storm - but more often than not - we are swirling in the wind - things banging into us, noise and action all around.
But it is like that in the external world as well, news that used to take months, can now shake our collective worlds on a minute by minute or hour by hour basis. Just witness the traumatic impact that economic instability in Greece and other Euro-centric countries is have on Canadian markets.
The scale of global is impacting the scale of personal and local. The speed of global - causes great uncertainty in the world of local.
My question is, with this complexity of speed and scale, how do we find those niches of change that are in the calm, in the eye of the tornado? How do we leverage the winds of change and draw in those things banging into us to create real change? Can we see the patterns of change when the speed is so fast?
Complexity becomes even more complex when living in a tornado.
