Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science and science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us.

Mission and vision both relate to an organizations purpose and aspirations, and are typically communicated in some form of brief written statements. A mission statement communicates the organizations reason for being and how it aspires to serve its key stakeholders.

Together, mission and vision guide strategy development, help communicate the organizations purpose to stakeholders, and inform the goals and objectives set to determine whether the strategy is on track.
