Part II — Dimensions · 06
Time, Rhythm and Stories
Organisations run on several clocks at once, and on the stories they tell about what has happened. Rhythm, tempo and narrative are treated as material conditions of judgement rather than soft context.
Second, revised edition · CURRENT Companion
The question it turns on
Whose tempo is this decision being made in?
Where the argument is contested
Slowing down is not automatically wiser; some situations punish deliberation. The book asks for a deliberate choice of tempo rather than a default one.
To sit with
- — What in your organisation is running faster than it can be understood?
- — Which story about the past is doing the most work in your current decisions?
