Jean Boulton is the real deal when it comes to working with complexity. She’s got a PhD in quantum physics, an MBA, and an MPhil from Bath University – entitled The Complexity Turn: Narrative, Science and Utility. She’s written a lot, including two major books about complexity in organisations, and in wider life. Jean is a terrific teacher and communicator, and makes it possible for people outside the science field to understand some of the most difficult concepts that are becoming essential elements of organisational understanding.
In this conversation we talk about Jean’s work, particularly her latest book The Dao of Complexity, about using it in practice, and about Jean’s life journey that brought her to writing such an exciting and pivotal book.
