“what do systems draw on to stretch to handle surprises? Systems with finite resources in changing environments are always experiencing and stretching to accommodate events that challenge boundaries. And what systems can escape the constraints of finite resources and changing conditions? Without some capability to continue to stretch in the face of events that challenge boundaries, systems are more brittle than stakeholders realize.”
