Chaordic - what is in a name?

Chaordic as a company has been around since 2017, but we still get asked about the origins of the name. Many have speculated about the meaning of the name, some correctly, some have gotten it wrong.

Chaordic is a term combining of the words “Chaos” and “Order”, coined by former Visa CEO Dee Hock. Hock wanted have a word to describe an organisation that harmoniously combines elements of both, without letting either dominate.
