Complexity Theory - how it applies

The very sharp folks over at Cognitive Edge have put together a clean and simple video that explains at a very general level how complexity theory can inform organizational design, strategy and mapping. Dave Snowden, with characteristic humour, explains how a birthday party for kids could be organized in one of three ways and then ends with "and that's what complexity theory offers" for viewers.

I attended a training session with Cognitive Edge over a year ago on San Francisco and this is a welcome communication piece for complexity science.
