Something - a little bit - about organization

 

Organization is another very difficult word to get a handle on,

because it appears in so many context , and of course the 

unpleasant experience of organizations, meaning some kind

of institution which may not be all that organized.  


In general, you can argue about whether " organization " as

a whole is such a great thing, and you can even argue about

whether there is such a thing as " organization " in an abstract

sense.  But at the end of the day, hopefully, you can appreciate

that  an important feature of organization , is the ability to

achieve some kind of clarity, that will improve the effectiveness

of actions or activity that need to take place.  So, in this

sense organization might be a good thing, depending on how

much clarity we can actually achieve.   


This may be a kind of boomerang, but there is another concept

related to organization, which is re-organization, which mostly

has a kind of not so good reputation, but, in fact, if it can be

clearly established that some greater clarity on various

matters can be achieved by an organization or a method , then

such a re-organization can have beneficial results.  Of course,

we always have to consider, beneficial in terms of for who

or what. 


Now, the hardest part, what exactly is the point here?

Well, I think, that in order to consider " improvements ",

on whatever scale, it is necessary to consider these issues

as sometimes, circumstances require a response.  So to

find that appropriate response, it may be necessary to

examine, even long held assumptions.


Finally, our interconnections and relationships seem to

be continually expanding, and that makes these issues

more complex but not less important.
