Is setting targets for everything actually working?

Are you looking for new ideas, or for inspiration?​​​​

Maybe it's time to try something different...

De-optimise your work routine: Introducing Open-World @ Work theory!

​

It's commonly accepted that traditional optimisation is merely a definition of some target to improve and some method to get there. Surely, improvement and goal-getting is what we're always after at work?

​

The Answer: It's about maths methods to discover innovative ways to reject/avoid false optimisation 'traps' which are everywhere in work, and relate to mistaking work and business for a machine process, easy to optimise because it operates in a controlled environment, like a machine in a factory, or a race car going round the same track again, and again. The reality is that machines are only easy to optimise when they operate in these highly controlled, closed environments. But as we move into the world of business, the demands on your work are more like the demands on biological organisms, which live and optimise in open environments. Get training in Open-World Theory for your work, to thrive. 

For entrepreneurs & investors: Learn from cutting-edge biology & biology inspired maths how to manage risk differently to the mainstream and buck the trend for high failure rates.

​​

Explore key ideas about risk & adaptation sourced from systems biology, such as 'innovation ciphers', based on analysing options and decision-making under deep uncertainty. These mathematical tools & approach are currently unavailable anywhere else and will raise the odds of your innovation product succeeding.

Do you wish you knew how to get your company or team to make better decisions on more complex topics?

 

Are you familiar with the 'paradoxes' of complex decision-making?

​​​

The solution is to reduce the communication inertia so that we respond more to the value of information and less to the structure of the organisation.

​

The value of information is a far more fine-grained thing than the value of any given organisational structure. That is why changing the communication strategy is not equivalent to changing the organisation, and why changing the organisation is often futile.

Learn from biology how to innovate and think creatively about your business ideas, raising the quality of your innovation and increasing the odds of your business's success.

​

Explore operations research theory honed by cutting-edge biology and guided by expert trainers and give your innovation product a significantly higher chance of success. 

​Do you only know how to innovate linearly/cumulatively? That's both exhausting and wasteful. Learn to use the maths of radial innovation to work more efficiently, effectively and sustainably. You then only innovate linearly when you really have to.

​​

Constant linear, supposedly cumulative progress can be exhausting and is expensive, but in Nature, radial innovation means plants acclimatise to their surroundings and the next generation acclimatise differently, but from a pre-set range of different radial innovations to meet their own generation's epoch. ​

​

This model of more 'organic' and cyclic radial innovation can be a useful analytical tool at every level of organisation.

​

Introduce models of radial innovation analysis into your toolkit and adapt to new epochs in a potentially more cost effective way.​​
