    Uncertainty is ubiquitous in our lives. The overarching goal of much research has been to help individuals and organizations to reduce uncertainty and increase predictability and control. However, in a world of rapid change, this search for stability is neither tenable nor desirable. It is time to ask how uncertainty may play a more generative role in social systems and how delibera­tely creating uncertainty can be beneficial for growth and adaptation.
