In Your Organization, Build a Flock Not a Clock.

Thanks Mark McGrath for producing this wonderful video with your son! That's why we named our book on adaptive organizations, "Flock, Not Clock"—because contrary to hundreds of years of conventional wisdom that guides us to build a clockwork organization that works like a machine, organizations are organic, adaptive superorganisms by nature...much more like a flock than a clock.


VMCL helps you to see the simple rules that underlie all organizations. Great that you are teaching your son about these ideas early on, it will serve him well as a future leader. Now if we could teach a complex adaptive systems (CAS) mindset to all of our children that would be a real advancement.
