Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, the majority of the society will always adopt their belief. The findings were published in the July 22, 2011, online edition of the journal Physical Review E in an article titled “Social consensus through the influence of committed minorities.”
“When the number of committed opinion holders is under 10 percent, there is no progress in the spread of ideas throughout the system. ”It would literally take the amount of time comparable to the age of the universe for this size group to reach the majority,” said SCNARC Director Boleslaw Szymanski, the Claire and Roland Schmitt Distinguished Professor at Rensselaer. “Once that number …

Change is a fact of life. In companies, it is a natural response to competition and shifts in the socio-economic environment and a route to gaining advantage and building business performance proactively. But, for change to be successful, managers need to ensure that employees both understand and support it.
Employees, on the other hand, have to actively seek information and contribute to a constructive dialogue on change implementation.
Change in companies happens when people choose to change behaviour and stick to this new behaviour until it is really implemented. Change communication is about motivating people to want and embrace the change. At the heart of change communication is the ability to motivate leaders and employees to engage in change management.

The Arab Spring is an amazing example of emergence in the process of change. This speech given by Riyaad Minty, Manager of Al Jazeera Network’s social media initiatives, shows how people using social media to connect and communicate develop the needed critical mass to successfully overthrow the government of Egypt.
Complexity theory and studies of complex adaptive systems tells us that the amount of connections between the agents or the parts is a critical factor enabling emergent change. In this speech Riyaad Minty tells us how Twitter together with Al Jazeera enabled (or facilitated) the Arab Spring.
For further reading I highly recommend Margreth Wheatly’s article on emergence and social innovations.

I have just rediscovered Margaret Wheatley’s work, as I tend to do now and then. This article introduces how emergence as a change theory, offers methods and practices to accomplish systems-wide change.

Emergent complexity can arise from simple interactions between agents following rules. The complexity that arises is suprising and challenges our assumptions about whether order comes from the top or the bottom.

During two intensive days, we focus on your role as leader of change. Learn how to achieve a more flexible organization and approach the whole process of change from start to implementation and reinforcement.
We live in a time of change! The prerequisite for success is to be able to handle the increasing pace of change and to motivate employees to take responsibility and to see possibilities in everything new. It is a perfectly normal reaction to be skeptical about the new and unknown. But when you have knowledge of how the process of change can be managed, you can finish in amazingly short time and with less resistance from the organization. You can open up new opportunities and release …

After a long day at work, I decided to go home and relax with a good movie. I really enjoy watching movies at home from my couch, and at this time of year there’s something special about tucking in under a warm blanket to enjoy a good movie with the family. To complete the experience we needed…Popcorn.
Luckily, I had some microwave popcorn in my kitchen cupboard that I wanted to pop. I read the instructions carefully. “This side up”, “1500 W”, “3 to 5 minutes” and “stop the microwave when it doesn’t pop within an interval of three seconds”.

The municipality’s urban planning office would review its strategic structure plan. The previous plans had worked well, but needed to be developed due to new challenges. The municipality was growing, and the plan hade to have a longer time scale and width than before. It had to be inspiring.
The idea was to start with the vision and then break it down into milestones. All sectors of the organization would be involved, so that the plan would be consensual. A project manager was appointed. She visited the different departments of the municipality to investigate what part of their visions that could land in the physical construction, such as the expansion of schools.
PlanB was contacted. A consultant helped to create a project …
