Introducing: The Complexity Series 

Have you noticed how things are no longer simple... or even complicated?  Things have become very complex and at times even chaotic! On these occasions I wish I was Captain Picard with access to my very own Mr. Data. He would counsel me on what to do next.

On the other hand, Mr. Data was not alone. He had his pal Geordi, Councilor Troi, Worf, Number One and Dr. Crusher to work with and unmask 'unknown unknowns'. They didn't view 'unknowns' as challenges. They didn't complain about it. They didn't fret when they failed. They just tried a different approach. They embraced every encounter as an exploration. An experiment.  An opportunity to learn and improve.

Now I can hear you saying Susan...Star Trek was a tv show. Yes it was. But here's the thing. Like some of us who navigate organizations and lead teams, Captain Picard also led a group of curious and knowledgeable people. The only difference is they figured out how to make complexity work for them.

On January 12^th, 2012 at 4 p.m. EST (in Corner Office) we are launching a series on complexity and contemporary business.
