Order from Chaos
Creativity and Intelligence in Business and Life

Creativity
Intelligence

Life comes in Twos. Light and Darkness. Hot and Cold. Male and Female. To derive Order from Chaos in business and in life demands a certain type of balance. We believe that one of the most fruitful and stimulating relationships is the balance between creativity and intelligence... strategic thinking and innovative concepts... ideas and actions... the mind and the hand operating in unison.

Creativity is imagination and innovation in all its forms. It's not just about making art out of ideas... it's about making art out of life. In this 'house' we will explore all the tools and ideas that give life to creativity, intelligence and the unique connections between them. We'll access new and interesting ways to use these fusions to enrich our personal and professional lives. Art is not the province of the few but the potential of many...

Intelligence isn't just about logic. It's about turning data into information and turning information into knowledge. It's about creating meaningful patterns out of all the physical and intellectual assets we have at our disposal. And laying "intelligent" foundations on which to build the activities which define our work and our life. But thinking well is only half the battle. Clear thought must be supported by energetic action. Ideas must be realized. The invisible made visible.

Turning the dream into the reality is one of the richest life experiences we can have. From the most basic elements we have constructed the grandest things... Our intelligence even helps us take patterns from nature itself, or from our own consciousness, and invent something new. And although the natural is often superior to the man-made, an elegant harmony of the two can be the key to maximizing potential.

Synergy, Synchronicity, Unity

When the Two work as One there is power and promise in every act. Life's natural duality is always resolved in the union of opposites. The beauty of night's transit into day... the mix of elegant skill and fierce power in sports... the partnership of feminine and masculine. All are part of the magic that happens when separate things converge. When it becomes hard to tell where the subject ends and the object begins. When the mind merges gracefully with the object of its focus... Have you ever drawn a perfect line, thrown a perfect pass... answered someone's question before it was even asked? You ARE the pen that draws the line... you ARE the ball being thrown... you ARE connected to that person and have become linked to their experience.

This synergy is about separate things becoming whole. About conflict becoming co-operation. "All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop". Life may come in many twos... but the meaning and power and potential is in the fusion of the two into the one. This synchronicity enhances art, business, sports... almost any human activity benefits from synergy and balance. It's what brings chaos from order.
