Description
The first track looks at how business are changing. No longer are jobs for life and traditional company structures are being questioned. Jane Henry talks to leading international thinkers about the... businesses of the future. The second track looks at how work on chaos and complexity theory could radically alter the way we understand how organisations work. Complexity studies how systems are constantly transformed by the collective behaviour of individual agents, whether they're people, ants or neurons, just doing what comes naturally
