Can we organize with chaos, rather than trying to manage chaos?

I believe we can organize and catalyze for success with chaos, but not necessarily organize in the "control" sense of the word. Chaos often is an early warning system - i.e. take a good look at the patterns struggling to emerge (the little problems inside the big problem) to point the way to exciting next steps. Chaos opens the door to integration functions in business as it does in our lives. It is only when deeply entrenched patterns are unlocked, shaken up, made chaotic, that there is room for rapid innovation and bold breakthroughs.
