Society must build the ability to repeat, over and over, forever. (Westley, 2013, p. 3) Elements of this resilient system are a self-organizing approach, the ability to withstand disruption and maintain organizational identity, and flexibility linked to continued growth in learning capacity within the organization (Moore & Westley, 2011). A very contextually relevant quote from Westley (2013), relating to this resilience, covers one of the main foundations of an organizational capacity for social innovation. Of course, “managing emergence” is easier in some cultures than others. Some cultures allow ideas to flow freely and quickly, combining with other ideas in the kind of tinkering necessary for innovation. Studies of resilience at the community, organizational, and individual levels suggest that these same qualities characterize organizations and communities resilient to crisis and collapse. Common characteristics of these organizations and communities are low hierarchy, adequate diversity, emphasis on learning rather than blame, room for experimentation, and mutual respect. These are all qualities that support general resilience. If taken care of, the capacity for social innovation will also increase, creating a virtuous circle which, in turn, will strengthen the resilience of society as a whole. (p.
