A Few Examples of Emerging Living System Nature

I am often asked, "Are there any examples of persons or orgnizations who demonstrate Living System Life and Work?" My answer is Yes.

There are a growing number of persons, groups, businesses, institutions and movements in a widening range of human affairs that are acting, at least in part, consistently with the emerging Stage A' - Living System human psyche stage pattern. They are examples of emerging Living System Life and Work and of portions of the new concepts, methods, tools and systems of Nodal Network Business Practice.

This list is incomplete. There are many more examples I am aware of and, of course, there are still more that I am not yet aware of. I present these examples to demonstrate the wide scope of emerging Living System Life and Work. They are listed in no particular order or significance.

This list is a starting point to stimulate your interest and hopefully your own studies and suggestions. So, with these disclaimers, here are only a few of the examples we will be commenting on in this Blog network:
