A most appropriate alignment is found in pollination symbiosis which delivers a mutually beneficial collaborative framework that is distinctly matched in one way, yet highly fragmented from a more abstract perspective. Substantial feats are accomplished at the individual level but results are strongly amplified well beyond individual accomplishments. All this readily occurs as an atomic effort within a deregulated chaotic macro environment, despite key resources being deprived of global communications, collaboration tools and other facilitation mechanisms that would support collaboration on intent and innovation.

Globalisation of the competitive environment brings ever increasing pressures and demands for great near-real-time flexibility so we can safely state that enterprises may relegate static theoretical postulates to their appropriate chapters in the history books.
