A Piece of Ginger

There are many ways of representing organizations, and this is usually by some form of a diagram. I think that a piece of ginger is more representative of organizational reality.

• The rhizome (main body of plant) grows perpendicular to the force of gravity.
• The rhizome is a store of energy to grow.
• Not all nodes are the same.
• If divided into pieces, each piece can form its own plant.
• It is not a two dimension drawing, but a three dimension work of natural living forces.
• It has a seasonal life pattern

These are all characteristics of an organization.

Next time you see a piece of ginger, examine it and see how its shape reflects your organization.

So, if you want a solution finder who sees and understands your organization as a natural living formative body, and not a static inert diagram, -- call me.
