Can periodicity be used alongside complexity theory to boost business effectiveness? This research explores the intersection of periodicity and complexity theory to help businesses better understand their position in the continuous cycle of gather, repeat, share, and transform. It analyzes how complexity, information, and organizational structure influence learning organizations. The study examines how periodicity can be strategically leveraged within the framework of complexity theory to optimize business processes. By understanding the cyclical nature of organizational activities, businesses can better adapt to changing conditions and foster continuous improvement. This research highlights the interconnectedness of complexity, information flow, and organizational design in promoting effective learning. The findings offer valuable insights for businesses seeking to enhance their adaptability and learning capabilities. By integrating complexity theory with an understanding of periodicity, organizations can create more dynamic and responsive structures that are better equipped to navigate today's rapidly evolving business environment. This is related to the *learning* and *organization*.
Published in _The Learning Organization_, this paper directly addresses the journal's focus on exploring and promoting organizational learning.
