Systems Thinking
- Study complex systems holistically, not just individual parts.
- A flock of birds exhibits emergent behavior impossible to predict by studying individual birds.
R&D Teams vs. Pilots
- R&D teams function like string quartets, where one weak member can ruin the whole.
- It's better to group your strongest members together than to spread them out.
Data and Tools for Complexity Science
- Complexity science is poised for breakthroughs due to increased data availability and advanced analytical tools.
- These tools, including AI, allow for deeper insights into complex systems like businesses and markets.
