Synopsis

This work on organisation structure offers the idea of the fool to help organizations out of the Jig of Despair. It argues that the fool can play nine roles: satirist, alienator, contrarian, jester, midwife, mediator, mapper, confidante and truthseeker. This can lead to the New Fool Order.
