Abstract
This article started me wondering when my own thinking started to change, in particular, when I started to see organisations as organisms rather than machines. Nigel describes an organic model with four S-shaped life-cycle phases: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly, beautifully illustrated with elegant graphics whose geometric precision I found just a touch too perfect. However, I loved the notion that an organisation should not hope to live forever. Rather, it should seek to broadcast its DNA and spread the influence of its values.
