Why did Arthur M. Young choose the torus as a symbol of his Theory of Process, the base operating system for The Grove Consultants International? A related question sits side by side. Can humans, and especially consultants, coaches and others who support collaborative practice, discover foundational orientations that provide some stability in what feel like chaotic times? This post shares my reflections on these questions. (If you want to have some context about Young you might watch this documentary by Arthur Bloch as an orientation. Young is an unusually broad philosopher and inquirer.)
