A short video on causation in complex systems. #complexsystems #complexity
If we want to understand causation in complex systems, we need to understand the role of Positive Feedback. In simple systems, we expect linear relationships between cause and effect - big causes result in big effects, and vice versa. However, in complex systems, big effects

"When you can't measure what's important, you make what you can measure important." This week's video examines how we sometimes choose metrics inside our organisations because they are the only thing we can measure, not because they are a good measure. But just because we can

Are organisations in high hazard industries going about managing psychosocial risk in an effective manner? Many organisations will have programs, but what are these programs actually designed to achieve? #highreliabilityorganisations #psychosocialrisk

In this video I apply a complex systems lens to the forensic investigation of the Florida International University Bridge Collapse
The Florida International Bridge Collapse in 2018 resulted in 6 fatalities. To check out our forensic discussion of the failure, check out our 30 minute video: https://t.co/6n9RDrOVJy

In our latest episode of #simplifyingcomplexity, @NGruen1 and @rorysutherland go head to head to debate the virtues (or not) of 'systems thinking'. One of the most entertaining episodes we've ever recorded. Apple Podcasts https://t.co/OXZDSycN1N Spotify https://t.co/gQxl4gSQKq

I talk quite a lot about the importance of taking a 'complex systems' approach to understanding certain systems, such as big organisations or the economy. This approach also provides us with a different way to think about why these systems fail. #complexsystems

The Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function of time (or space) into a function of frequency. In essence, it decomposes a complex signal into its constituent sinusoidal components, each with a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase. This is

Our interview with @ricardo_hausman is now available on YouTube. It discusses the role of 'knowledge' in an economy, and why examining a country's exports gives us a window into what it's good at making or can make. Watch at: https://t.co/O8snDD6Hss Apple:
