"Cross that you little bastards and you die..."

Thanks to David Gurteen (again) for pointing out this particularly brilliant explanation of complexity theory by Dave Snowden, using the analogy of a party for a group of 11 year old boys...

Hi Ms. Nicole,

Nice to have visited your blog. Thanks a lot to your ideas on knowledge management. Just wanted to let you know you have a wonderful blog! I used to stay in Midlands 3 years agom but now reside with my wonderful family in Dubai, UAE!

Lovely blog Helen and a real treasure trove of things.
Incidentally, whenever I get the "human factors are fluffy" I correct them and explain that what they really mean is "spiky", like coral. ;)

best

Great blog Helen.

I can totally relate to this post after just hosting a party for one of our children.

While the wife selectively chose all the ordered kids, I was placed with the complex team which gave me no choice but to say;

""Cross that you little bastards and you die...""

In a polite kind of way of course!!!
