After reading thus far (oldest to latest), it seems like you are saying that the function has changed but form hasn't caught up yet. Is this understanding somewhat accurate? If so, this is brewing in my head for now...
If form must follow function (big IF), people bringing in the many new forms need to see that the function has indeed changed and that the critical mass for that change to be perceptible is already met. I wonder if that's actually the case.
If the leading indicator (function in this case) didn't rock the boat yet, the lagging indicator cannot do much. Perhaps we need to gauge: a) Are there cohorts that have sensed that the function has changed (as in, who and where are those who noticed the leading indicator changing), b) Are they anywhere close to the tipping point to help with ease of adoption (least energy/effort), and c) If we cannot answer a and b, how should we probe and offer emergent practices to make it easy to answer a and b.
If function follows form (seems to be the case more often than not), perhaps the critical mass is yet to be met because the "latent" needs are ineffable at best or unmanifested.
And if we are talking about complex environments, cause and effect are either inapplicable or too far apart in space and time to retrace. Complex systems seem to have certain propensities that are kinda palpable. Perhaps trying to find the direction and dynamics of the flow streams might enable us to see and manage the interfaces as threats and opportunities surface.
Perhaps you've already addressed this in the other posts. Moving on :)
