Hi Christine,
as you easily can tell, I ain't Harrison. I gather he has not gotten up 
yet considering the sun not shining on all of us at the same time.
Of course, I cant speak for him!

Still, here is my view, my assumptions on your issues:

All systems are selforganizing, that is the forces of selforganisation 
are always active... sometimes hardly noticeable, sometimes very present.
So, neither you or I or Harrison or an armada of CEOs can keep an 
organisations coherent and we would be fools not to leave it to the 
forces of selforganisation. It, the system, could stay coherent more 
easily if controls are reduced.

To have selforganisation do its thing (in every nook and cranny or for 
the whole), you might try: Fill in.

For a real life and quite successful organisation including the 
environment in which it moves and with which it interacts, have a look 
(in six different languages all in one ebook: French, Chinese, English, 
German, Spanish and Polish) at Practicing Open Space-Our First Ten Years 
(in the meantime its been going on for 13 years), published as an ebook,

Have a grand day
