Theory of music & musicology; Consultancy & grants for businesses; Miscellaneous items

The challenges we encounter in our everyday world(s) require updated and sophisticated types of 'conversation', literally and in a wider sense. It's not just about the content, it's about the relationships, the interactions. Embodied sensemaking offers ideas; the worlds of music, art and design offer new sounds and vistas. An open exploration of the metaphors that shape the potentialities and limitations of our perspectives is a starting point for 're-sounding' any 'thing', experience, phenomenon or style of relating, in order to set the stage for another type of being 'in concert'.

Building on complexity science, social constructionism, insights and experiences from the worlds of music, art, dance and design, and the phenomenon of improvisation in all its subtleties, this book invites you into an exploration into what 'shifting sound' can do. How can musicological themes and variations like harmony, melody, rhythm, tone, resonance, or dissonance open up tangible options for collaborative action in the face of adaptive challenges and wicked problems? Spann & Martin offer a backstage view into their world and work.

Reviews for Re-Sounding: introducing an alternative metaphor for organization change

I am very pleased to see the wonderful work that Rik Spann and Simon Martin are doing. Their light-hearted and musical approach is grounded in real depth of thought and scholarship. Organizations of all kinds are ready for a change, toward a more adaptive way of being that takes account of the complexity of the contemporary world and of human interaction. Every industry needs this kind of adaptation, to recognize itself as part of ever-changing nature and culture. To be flexible is to endure and grow.
