Dave led a day-long seminar on his version of complexity in San Francisco today. 20 million organ benefit for example. Dave Snowden is a compelling storyteller, mad genius, and irascible Welshman who has pioneered the mash-up of complexity theory and management practice. I’m still absorbing the implications.
