And I have seen some lovely multi-dimensional models - one
organisation who I work with - a Deming based UK consultancy
called Tetra-main have a lovely model of the system of profound
knowledge as a tetrahedron - all the sides touching and the removal
of any one side causing the structure to collapse. I often find
myself wanting to construct things which go beyond the bounds of
newsprint and chalk board so much of what we want to express is
more complex than those flat pages can display - any good ideas??
