Recommend Margaret Wheatley's book, Leadership and the New Science.

That sparked my interest/passion in the subject. She also has a tape out on the subject.

I have used the theory to good ends in developing creative/agile team performance.

Hi all

I am new to the list and have not had the opportunity to ontroduce myself. My name is Joshua Zammit and I am an Industrial/Organisational Psychology working in Malta.

I am sending this message to ask whether anyone out there have any resources about applying chaos theory to management and organisations. I work in the Public Sector as a consultant and would really like to see whether I can apply this theory to my work. If you have any articles, books or web sites which you wish to send please do not hesitate. If you would like to attach anything relevant to your email please do not hesitate to do so.

I will post a summary of the responses on the list.

Thank You
Joshua Zammit

I'd recommend contacting Laurie A. Fitzgerald with The Consultancy, Inc.,
in Colorado, a company that specializes in organizational design and
transformation, particularly from the perspective of chaos theory.
Consultancy works with clients in North America, Europe, Australia, and
Africa.

If you wanted to go into a "slightly newer" aspect, you could check out
our complexity page, which is at:

http://bprc.warwick.ac.uk/comp.html

More info on 'our slant' will be available soon, but papers and
web-links should be interesting - I also recommend the Brint web-site,
on:

http://www.brint.com/Systems.htm#COMPpprs

as being an excellent web-based resource, on both chaos and complexity
applications to management

Hope that this helps!
