They will discuss why we must stop viewing our economy as a machine that can be perfected with increasing levels of efficiency, and instead understand it as a natural system – one that is complex, adaptive, and systemic – more like a rainforest than an oil refinery – and which requires a fundamental balance of efficiency with resilience. They will explore specific actions business leaders and entrepreneurs can take to restore balance – changes to how they run their business, all of which have been tried and tested in other contexts. These aren’t silver bullets by any means, but a handful of guiding business principles that can move our complex adaptive system in a more consistently useful direction.
