Page 2 - The Complexity Perspective 20 02 18

Foreword

The Complexity Perspective is a way of seeing the world rooted in the
ideas of Complexity Theory. Complexity Theory, in turn, is rooted in
the hard sciences and it is often difficult to see how it applies in the

business context, even as a metaphor.

That said, it is our contention is that the top leaders who display
intuitive strategic sense, unconsciously apply the constructs of

complexity theory. As an aspiring leader, you too can gain that
intuitive understanding by adopting the Complexity Perspective.

This Guide is the first attempt to bring the ideas of complexity to the
lay business audience. If you want to go into complexity in more depth
go to the Website via www.businessgamesworks.com. There you will
find links to the mass of the complexity literature but still with a

business orientation wherever possible.

In addition to the Complexity Perspective website, visit the Leading
in a World of Disruption site and see how hyper-engaging gaming

can take the complexity perspective and put the ideas across to
everyone in your business. Again, you can access more information
about the Leading in a World of Disruption game at

www.businessgamesworks.com.
