Simplicity @ the other side of Complexity. Prasad Kurian's blog on HR, OD and Personal Effectiveness. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Architects of meaning - From CHRO to CMO. It doesn't make sense! This is a statement that one is likely to hear quite frequently in today's 'dynamic and complex' business organizations. This makes me wonder if the problem has more to do with the ' it. Part (the situation) or with the ' sense. Part (the implied definition of the term 'sense' in this context) or with 'make sense'.

Simplicity @ the other side of Complexity. Prasad Kurian's blog on HR, OD and Personal Effectiveness. Sunday, February 21, 2010. Accelerated learning and Rites of passage. The words 'Accelerated Learning' appear in my current business title. This gives me an 'excuse' ('obligation'! Learning is said to occur when there is a relatively permanent change in a person’s behavior.
