Today, organizations are grappling with ambiguity, volatility and paradox surrounding the challenges they face. This is complexity.

It's like setting a pot of water on "low" and waiting for it to boil. To solve the seemingly intractable challenges that leaders bang their heads against for months - to get the metaphorical water to boil - you must generate a high amount of heat very quickly.

Complexity has met its match! Today, organizations are grappling with ambiguity, volatility and paradox surrounding the challenges they face. This is complexity. But too many leaders approach complexity the wrong way - they push their people harder and harder and tackle problems one-at-a-time over months, sometimes even years and nearly always in a linear fashion. It's like setting a pot of water on "low" and waiting for it to boil.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

DAVID KOMLOS is an entrepreneur and early-stage investor who, after his second exit, became intent on applying the Complexity Formula to some of the most interesting and high-stakes situations in the world, from Fortune 15 boardrooms to international aid, content creation in sports and entertainment, to improving access to life-saving products. David's life has been incredibly enriched and shaped by these experiences, and today he enjoys strong personal relationships with top global leaders. He and his spouse, Jennifer, live in Toronto with their daughter and two sons.

David Benjamin is the co-founder of Syntegrity and the chief architect behind its implementation of the Complexity Formula as laid out in his book, Cracking Complexity. David regularly guides leaders and their teams through their application of the formula, helping them get to decisions and action in days, no matter the industry, type of challenge, or nature of the organization. In this capacity, David has become a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies and government leaders on how to organize for complexity and find traction in the face of the intractable. He frequently speaks on a wide range of topics related to complexity, effective and efficient problem-solving, and human dynamics in systems. David spends most of the rest of his time and energy on writing, family, long-distance running and cracking cryptic crosswords. David and his wife, Angie, live near Toronto and have three incredibly talented daughters whom he loves equally.
