Complexity Awareness: Grokking Our Interdependencies and Emergent Futures

In most contexts today, from businesses to governments to social development, we’re told to view complexity as our mortal enemy - crush it, vanquish it, overcome it, and do everything in our power to simplify it. How would you feel if we told you this is the opposite of what you should be doing? (Obviously, that’s exactly what we’re about to do!) For many years, we’ve allowed a landscape built on repetitive efficiency to snuff out the grand potential found within the matrix of creative complexity, and it’s high time that we shift our thinking to embrace this feature of all maturing systems. Join Yvette and Frank as they explain the intimate dance between complexity and foresight, and explore how ecosystems of wildly diverse connections open up a whole new world of possibilities for those who feel like bustin’ loose. (Hey, Nelly fans, Chuck Brown did it first!)
