A healthy organizational structure is a living entity. It is organized, yet maintains the capacity of self renewal. It finds its integrity and stability through reciprocal expansions and contractions; a living and breathing entity. This processing structure maintains its form over time, yet has no rigidity. It is identifiable and consistent, yet ever changing and evolving.
