Complexity Thinking Guidelines

* Address complexity with complexity
The brain is more complex than any other tool. To make sense of a complex thing, use storytelling, metaphors, visuals.

* Use a diversity of perspectives
Combining multiple incorrect views often results in a much better observation.

* Assume subjectivity and coevolution
When cause and effect are interdependent, resolve a situation by focusing on something else.

* Steal and tweak
We usually think of innovation as inventing new things, but we may be smarter to think of it as recombining old ones.

* Expect dependence on context
Be skeptical, because what worked in the past, or for others, is not guaranteed to work for you now.

* Anticipate, explore, adapt
Probe a situation by imagining improvements (anticipate), trying things out (explore), and responding to change (adapt).

* Shorten the feedback cycle
Systems with slower feedback cycles have higher extinction rates in changing environments. Iterate faster.

* Keep your options open
Prepare to be surprised.
