Open Boundaries

Creating Business Innovation Through Complexity

Since it was first published 25 years ago, Open Boundaries has been recognized as a seminal work in leading Enterprise Complexity. The process of interaction and emergence introduced in this book, exposes the myth that enterprise complexity can be managed. It cannot. But it can and must be led.

Written by the late Howard Sherman and Ron Schultz, Open Boundaries emerged out of years of seminars held in Santa Fe, New Mexico. These workshops attracted businesses and enterprises from around the world grappling with rapid change. The pace of that change had unceremoniously propelled them out of the industrial age, through the information age, and into a post information age of new and previously unimagined opportunities that were always just one step away.

Welcome to my work. It has introduced me to some of the greatest minds on the planet, given me an opportunity to speak with the famous, infamous and notorious; from the arts, to the sciences, to business, to the inner workings of the mind. As a writer, I share what I have learned and tell the stories of those who lived them. From He-man and the Masters of the Universe, to Nobel physicist Murray Gell-Man, to artists like Joe Davis and Richard Clar, who create works of art in, not on or about, outer space, to Sandy Koufax, one of the greatest baseball pitchers of all time, to jazz legends Akiyoshi and Tabaken. I have lived a great life speaking with anyone I wanted. Now it is time to focus on my stories, create my fictions, and share the fun with anyone whose imagination loves intrigue, suspense, and a good time. I look forward to sharing my journey with you!
