    When we consider credit unions, local banks, international banks, foundations, grants, corporations, all so many things. We begin to see the complexity but importance of local and larger context. The medical eco systems (local and related and influencers larger)… and energy, climate and innovation infrastructure larger but overlayed eco systems. It provides the context And needed working information to help with insights and implementation. It’s not perfect, how could it be? Our systems are reflections and influencers of “us”… the echoes and work tend to cascade. It’s also why process of group action and reaction dynamics matters. Anyone who knows me, knows I’m not anti markers or business… that’s silly… but lack of god information or rather Bastardizing concepts like thriving in ambiguity creates synergy of false needs or improper KPI’s… it happens, but the positive feedback loops need to be a part of good work… the integrity helps…. A team on a project striving for synergy is good… but those team members have families, realities, other work commitments… the connections of clients, community, corporate and varying objectives and measurable s. It just is…. These things are not new, but the stake holder understandings of connection matter… it’s takes courage to stand when the levels of compromise become dangerous. It is in those moments where orgazations define and redefine themselves. That sort of leadership needs market rewards. There’s a lot happening. And it needs to be better, and that’s good. Enjoy the ride and seek better. It’s balance
