Why Complexity Science?

In the early 1970s a new generation of scientists using early computer technology started to make some amazing and challenging discoveries about how our world works. This new science, called Complexity Science has made huge strides in understanding the living world. Some of these discoveries have been used by companies in the US and Europe to improve their competitiveness. Ants foraging patterns, for example, have been copied to improve supply chain logistics, telecoms routing and huge warehousing operations. Using other insights a number of companies have been brought back from the edge of extinction and others have transformed themselves.

Our planet was not designed using command and control principles, yet they still underpin much of today's management practice. This approach is now 300 years behind the times!
