I also agree that historically organizations have emphasized building a "machine" to run like clockwork, which doesn't place much emphasis on dealing with the situation where things don't run like clockwork. This situation, I believe, is becoming more the norm and, as you say, is where the opportunity to differentiate can be found.

Change or the unique situation was thought of as being a bad thing to be driven out of the environemnt. As organizations get thier environment under control, that view needs to shift as change is where the opportunity is. It may be a question of maturity. The question for me is: Will companies know when that tipping point is reached and will the culture be able to respond? Thanks for the reference.
