Peter Cochrane argues that our world is essentially non-linear and becoming more complex. This complexity is visibly pervasive in our workplace, government and everyday living. Furthermore the thinking and models of the past industrial revolution and experiences of past centuries cannot solve today’s problems as we try to engineer a future that supports a growing [...]
