I work for a fortune 500 hundred company acting as the primary
contractor at one of the Department of Energy sites. The site's
population is over 16,000 people. As you might expect, this site has a
multi-level hierarchy in addition to the government regulatory
environment. The site has gone through tremendous change in operating
policies over the last five years as well as a major change in mission
from one of maintaining national defense to one of environmental
restoration.

A colleague recommended The Fifth Discipline in late 1990. Since that
time I have attended the Systems Thinking conferences while studying up
on Meg Wheatley, Fritjof Capra, and the others. Systems thinking and
the other learning disciplines as well as Meg's/Fritjof's/etc theories
have been very useful at my site for understanding the complexities
behind the nonsensical behavior.

I am very interested in sharing understandings as well as lessons
learned from the application of these theories. Of special interest is
"grass roots" stories and thoughts on interpretation and application of
all these theories.
