Curt Lindberg, Chief Learning and Science Officer, Plexus Institute, shares insights about the role of complex systems in communities and countries today. 

Complexity science principles help us to think in terms of how our day-to-day actions - such as sharing information to strengthen transparency - have a direct impact on the quality of our lives today.

Understanding how complexity affects social and economic change enables leaders in education, economic, and workforce development to have a better grasp on connecting strategic investments to future prosperity.
