The Complexity Problem• Assessing the impact of decisions is exceedingly difficult in complex systems.• Hard to manage in-flight changes• Too many interdependent factors.• Hard to enforce effective

governance/oversight.

• Not enough time• External change happens faster than the

time needed to assess the impacts of that change.

• Time frames under competitive pressure cannot support “Ready, aim, fire”

Challenges

• How can a complex system be represented in a way that facilitates management understanding and organisational alignment, and yet still retains the complexity of the system’s behaviour?

• Can sufficient data about complex systems be gathered, and to the level of accuracy needed, to support decisions?
