Soundings: how well does your organisation work as a system?

This clears your answers and results. You can't undo it.

Soundings is inspired by Patrick Hoverstadt's book The Grammar of Systems: From Order to Chaos & Back, which sets out the 33 laws in full and is well worth reading. It is an independent project by Dynamic Skillset. Patrick Hoverstadt has not endorsed it and is not involved with it. The laws are grouped into the book's three domains: dynamic complexity, structural complexity, and knowing and uncertainty. The domains overlap, so a few laws count towards more than one. The summaries and statements on this page are my own plain-English versions of his ideas.
