25 words to change your view of the world
How do you navigate your organisation’s journey in an increasing volatile and unpredictable world?

To be more effective in the world of innovation, we need to learn from the patterns evident in nature.

The world of Complex Adaptive Systems has been at the centre of research in fields as diverse as Mathematics, Physics, Anthropology, Biology and Sociology for the better part of the last five decades.
As the world is becoming increasingly complex, Management theory is starting to encompass these philosophical foundations. Each of these words are explained in graphical detail and is then matched to astonishing real world examples that exemplify excellence in Innovation Management.
