[All] Invest in knowledge of a Fractal Worldview to better deal with complexity

[Robert Milligan]

Hi All,

This Innovative Area (WR & surrounding municipalities) has to develop  
an Innovative Culture that is much more creative and intelligent so as  
to better aid especially our major hi-tech business innovators -- RIM,  
Open Text, ... -- in their competitive struggle with the large wealthy  
global giants such as Google and Apple.

The gradual adaption of a Fractal Worldview by our Region's thought  
leaders and organizations would be but one necessary step towards  
enhancing our Innovation Potential.

This first article gives a good indication of a Fractal Worldview's  
usefulness  in researching and applying the complex interrelationships  
between env, soc & econ:

Fractal Dynamics and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)
http://www.bsr.org/reports/BSR_FD_Narrative.pdf

"Fractal dynamics provides insight into some fundamental questions  
about the future of CSR.
How might the field of CSR evolve? Will there be a need for CSR? How  
can a progressive
and sustainable economy be established? How can corporate attention  
shift from current
compliance-based practices of establishing codes of conduct to a  
fundamental corporate
repurposing based on truly addressing human, social and environmental  
needs?

It is perhaps of little surprise that fractal dynamics was intuitively  
grasped by such effective
individuals as Gandhi and Einstein many decades ago. Gandhi is known  
to have stated,
“Become the change that you wish to see in the world.” This statement  
is imbued with fractal
reality: by changing the base-pattern (“Become the change…”), the  
subsequent levels of an
organization, and its entire interaction and approach to the market,  
environment and
society, are also fundamentally changed. "



Some interesting context about the general applicability of fractal  
concepts:
