Example of Setting Boundaries
Field Frame + Connectivity = Boundaries
Changes to the interpretation of
• Composition
• Skills & Resources

Example of Changing Composition
Expand Composition = New Organizations in the Field
Likely to decrease connectivity of the field
Likely to increase skills & resources of the field
