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.

Change management is all about activating hidden ressources within the system in order to change behaviours. Play and fun is one of powerful way of doing it which this commercial from VW(or actually DDB Stockholm) visualizes.

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.

In our efforts to empower change and transformation in organizations we find great inspiration in the scientific fields of complexity theory and complex adaptive systems (CAS).
Examples of complex adaptive systems include the stock market, ant colonies, the ecosystem, the brain, the immune system and any human social group-based endeavour. There are close relationships between the field of CAS and artificial life. In both areas the principles of emergence and self-organization are very important.
The systems are complex in that they are dynamic networks of interactions and relationships. They are adaptive in that their individual and collective behaviour changes as a result of experience. They change and adapt.
This particular film clip introduces the science of complexity. The clip is from The Cassiopeia Project …
