I think this diagram relates to organisations especially in relation to change initiatives. Seeing the organisation as one reinforced circle is denying the rich culture that your organisation really is. The messy circles are what an organisation really looks like, which means the change message is going to be interpreted in many different ways.
This quote comes to mind:
“If culture is a phenomenon that emerges from myriad interactions amongst organisational members, then it cannot be managed from outside as a whole. Instead, the top managers can only influence culture from within their own participation in interactions with others. Senior managers cannot design the culture that they want, nor can they engage other specialists to design the desired culture. They can only influence culture through their interactions with others. No wonder leaders say that communication is so important.”
In addition the richness and variety of culture is desired, a messy culture (so to speak) is what we want. The more diverse the better it is adapting to change and being resilient.
Culture is messy; that’s a good thing!
