I would really like help in understanding this dimension, time. How do
all these cycles fit together in an organization:

-quarterly reports, returns and external valuation such as stock
-product cycle times
-evolution of the organization
-personal time on a daily and life cycle basis
-past, present, future and longer term futures
-???

all these clocks are running. Somehow, the time dissonance seems to be
an unaddressed factor- and maybe a major factor
