What is Totemics
Totemics is all about ways to think, acknowledge and explore all the real wealth to be found from different assumptions, different perspectives and even from misunderstandings. Not with the idea that this is a difficulty to be managed but a resource essential to newness and innovation.

Consistency
Generally speaking, at work people are more skilled at techniques that lockdown the bandwidths of variation. Policy dictates stability to maintain the process.
Innovation
However, for the emergence of new systems, new products and new perspectives – there is a need for skills that do the reverse of curtailing variation.
Formal statements, policy documents and regulatory principles are all required for consistency, order and seamless functioning. They do not allow for newness and innovation.
