Episode 6: Embracing Complexity and Exploring the Difference Between Complexity and Complication
In this 6th episode of the Contextual Intelligence Podcast, Dr. Kutz talks about Chapter 5 of his book, 'Contextual Intelligence, How Thinking in 3D Can Help Resolve Complexity, Uncertainty, and Ambiguity'.
He discusses how the value of chaos and complexity can enhance our problem-solving capabilities and leadership skills. He emphasizes the importance of embracing complexity rather than seeking to reduce or avoid it. Dr. Kutz differentiates between complex and complicated systems and explains the concepts of strange attractors and phase transitions. He concludes by exploring double loop learning and providing an illustrative comparison between Legos and Play-Doh to better understand complex systems.
