	The Trillion-Dollar Vision of Dee Hock
		Hock had read about the Santa Fe Institute and its work on "the edge of chaos": the notion that healthy, adaptive systems will always exhibit a kind of dynamic tension between chaos and order.
		Once Hock, the former businessman, had finished bristling at the thought of Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate, he was delighted to discover that their thinking about institutions and centralized power was on exactly the same wavelength.
		Hock was wondering if a Visa-like organization might help in environmental conflicts by giving the various sides a way to resolve disputes before they went for each other's throats.

	The Nader Page \| Inflation and the Federal Reserve
		Dee Hock's critique of the organizational structures of corporations is contained in his recently published book "Birth of the Chaordic Age" (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc., San Francisco, California).
		Hock argues that our current forms of organization are almost universally based on compelled behavior "on tyranny." The organization of the future, according to Hock, will be the embodiment of "community based on shared purpose calling to the higher aspiration of people."
		Dee Hock debunks a ton of conventional thinking and lays out a challenging and exciting view of the future structure of corporations and society.

		Dee Hock is founder and coordinating director of the Chaordic Alliance.
		Hock was a poor Utah child raised on the rural western slopes of the Rocky Mountains, a voracious and eclectic reader and a miscast consumer-loan officer moved repeatedly to conflict with command-and-control bosses.
		Hock and others thought it was a necessary prohibition in order to "preserve and foster even greater competition." Hock thought that with duality allowed, the founding members of Visa would be concerned that as soon as their system became valuable, their competitors would join it.

	Book Review - Birth of the Chaordic Age - Wally Bock, Author, Keynote Speaker
		I'd known about Dee Hock for years, and I was fascinated by him and by the process that must have gone into establishing, actually inventing, Visa.
		Hock's mind is supple and rich and dips into sources that span time and geography and cultures.
		Hock's life and the story of Visa are fascinating, and it pulls us along, but there's real meat in his observations about organizations and how they work and how they ought to work.

	One from Many : VISA and the Rise of Chaordic Organization - Leadershop @ LeadershipNow.com
		Dee Hock provides a riveting account of how people and institutions of every conceivable language, culture, currency, and race were linked together in a commonly owned, $3.2 trillion non-stock, for-profit organization, one in which owner/members simultaneously engage in the most intense cooperation and the fiercest competition.
		Hock skillfully weaves together the story of VISA with his own remarkable life story and elaborates the visionary philosophy that allowed VISA to thrive.
		Hock makes a compelling argument that this organizational philosophy is a more supple, responsive and creative alternative to mechanistic Industrial Age models, one more in tune with what we see in nature.

		Dee Hock was the founder and CEO of VISA International, a multinational organisation bring together banks from all over the world to agree on a unified credit card system.
		And Hock admits his failures as well as his astonishing successes -- he was discovering the principles at the same time as he was implementing them, and didn't always get it right.
		But, despite that, it's clear this is a man with insight, passion, humanity, who is also clearly a silver tongued devil.

	STOLA - Saluki Tree of Life Alliance
		Dee Hock first conceptualized the VISA model in the early 1970s based on the mathematical chaos theory.
		This is the fundamental paradox facing businesses, governments, and societies alike, says Hock -- not to mention living cells, brains, immune systems, ant colonies, and most of the rest of the natural world.
		Dee Hock's quote bears repeating: "Given the right circumstances, from no more than dreams, determination, and the liberty to try, quite ordinary people consistently do extraordinary things." Please join with us to do extraordinary things for our beloved Salukis.

	Pulse
		Hock is still not satisfied with the system he designed.
		Visa was designed to be what Hock calls “chaordic”—a combination of chaos and order, competition and cooperation, centralization and decentralization that he describes as a “complex, self-organizing, nonlinear, self-governing, adaptive system.” That litany of concepts from the new biology sounds like an approach lost in theory.
		Along the way Hock’s self-organizing, nonlinear, adaptive company pioneered such things as the first electronic authorization system, the debit card system, and the electronic funds transfer system, as well as electronic point-of-sale terminals and those magnetic stripes now found on the backs of all cards.

	Gen Kanai weblog: Dee Hock on Emergent Democracy
		Joi sent his emergent democracy paper to Dee Hock, founder of Visa, and got a lengthy and interesting response "about blogging, the Internet, VISA, culture, democracy, power, corporations, leadership" and other ideas.
		I really like when Dee talks about the failure of the Internet to "Institutionalize its deinstitutionalization" as that is clearly at the heart of all of the fights going on with IP and laws surrounding copyright.
		Dee's metaphor for blogging as a network of ideas in comparison to the network Visa/MC/Amex have created is really...powerful.
