Strategy is knowing where you stand and to where you are going from your starting position. People get busy developing performance indicators to gauge their progress on their set direction. But, we know from complexity routes that the future holds many scenarios. How may we assume following one and pre-determined future path? We need to open our eyes to all possibilities and keep learning from experiences and trial and error. In summary, complexity science opens our minds and eyes to the many possibilities of the future. To assume or pre-select one path means that we may control our destiny. Can we do that in reality? That is correct, Bas.

It's better to change path (or start looking for one)? So if you stay on the same path you have to run harder and harder. It’s better to change path (or start looking for one)?

This is an interesting comment that I would like to share with the readers. Adaptability suffers from what has been termed "The Red Queen Effect". In summary if you keep runnung in a landscape at the same rate of others you seem to stick at your starting point. It is important to adapt much faster than others to feel the progress. The rate of adaptation is crucial. Besides, as long as you have more choices than the environment in which you are working then adaptability comes to a halt. To adapt, you must generate alternatives.

I also encourage evry reader to read your post that has a linkage in your reply. In particular. and I quote your post, In reality economies and cultures that already have a critical mass are able to grow their ‘market share’ at the expense of less developed cultures and economies. Yes, we do see things eye to eye even evough we approach the same issue from different directions. Dear Dr. Brown,

Great article. I am currently in the process of migrating my network from a samll metro spike in Melbourne to one in regional Australia.

This post was the second one on my blog and also discusses the imbalances of the globalizing economy.

Basically if you are European or North American glbalization comes with pelnty of benefits, but the lower you are on the economic pecking order, the more likely you will be unfairly exploited.

Unfairly. Now there’s a loaded term.
