Politicians, business managers and all members of society have to make important decisions on a daily basis in the complex web in which business, social issues, finance and economics, environment, politics and culture are all highly interconnected
Making Decisions in such a Complex Web of Interactions
Do we get it right?• Do we make good policy and investment
decisions?• Are we aware of the unintended consequences of
our decisions?• Are we effective in our cross-sectoral
communication and collaboration to deal with the multi-dimensional nature of complex problems?
• Do we go for quick fixes because it is easier to treat the symptoms?
ORDo we urgently need new and innovative ways of thinking and a fresh approach and tools to deal with the problems facing our society?
