My comment is getting farther away from Corporate Change, though
everything is relative!
There is a CD ROM that allows children to compose music through painting
the equivalent of musical notes. The length of dashes (apparently)
determines whether a note is an eighth note, quarter note or another. The
imagination of a note that just kept playing came to mind, and I realized
that we probably wouldn't like that very much. One part of the process may
involve dynamic perception where the senses highlight changes more than a
constant state. It seemed that music is a stream of reminders - change the
state, change the state, change the state - or at least the notes are part
of a new state (within the song) themselves.
Some uses of this are computer application dialogue boxes that all look
the same (and possibly shouldn't) and rule-based requirements in the
workplace when those rules aren't beneficial.
Have a nice day
