*PROBLEM-SOLVING is what we do (for business, nonprofits, public sector)/
*FACILITATION is how we do it (of workshops and meetings)/
*COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE is why we do it (it works but it is chaotic & needs guidance)

The concept we call Entropy is a natural consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. For the unfamiliar, the First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. The Second Law states that in an isolated system “entropy” will never decrease. These are universal truths, physical laws that cannot be broken.
So what does this mean for us? Entropy is a measure of “disorder,” the higher the entropy, the more disorder. In our universe, it is a law that everything always trends from order to disorder. This concept is a fundamental force acting on everything we are and everything we do.
The easiest way to think about Entropy is to imagine that you are given a new puzzle in a box. Should you dump the pieces onto a table, will the pieces land perfectly ordered into their final picture? No, they will not, at least almost certainly not. Instead, the pieces will land in a completely random fashion, completely disordered.
Why? While it is technically possible to dump the pieces out and for them to bounce and arrange themselves into a perfectly ordered final picture, the probability of this happening is inestimably small. There are nearly infinite ways, on the other hand, for the pieces to land in the “wrong” or disordered fashion.
Another way to think about Entropy is to imagine building a sand castle on the beach and returning a few days later. In all likelihood, your sand castle is long gone, the grains of sand returned to a random arrangement of particles on the beach. Why? There is only one arrangement of sand grains that builds the castle, but nearly infinite arrangements otherwise. The universe, absent intervention, will always return the order to disorder (from J.K. Lund)
