Unleashing the Power of Complexity Science for Business Success.
Complexity science: the secret to a more creative and productive company. The natural world was once named as linear and mechanistic, where simple cause-and-effect solutions were expected to explain the complex phenomena of nature; scientists now realise that much of their world is nonlinear and organic, characterised by uncertainty and unpredictability. As in science, business managers are discovering that their world is not linear but rather predominantly nonlinear, not mechanistic but rather organic and complex. In the new economy, the limitations of the mechanistic model in business are becoming starkly apparent. A new way of thinking is required.
The new science of complexity provides a powerful framework for understanding and competing in the fast-changing, high-tech, global business environment of the new millennium. 'The Soul At Work' shows today's executive and manager how to apply complexity science to business strategy and organisational structure, that will result in a more creative and productive work environment, and ultimately ensure corporate survival and success in the new economy.
