What is complexity in business, and why does it matter, especially in a business fitness context?
Why are organisations becoming more complex, and what are the implications of being overwhelmed by business complexity?
In this episode, Jonathan unpacks the meaning of complexity and its implications for business alignment. He discusses how increasingly complex external forces and internal pressures are leading organisations themselves to become more intricate.
Jonathan explains that when managed poorly, complexity is one of the biggest organisational alignment killers. However, he goes on to state that if managed properly and utilised effectively, complexity can actually become a vital competitive advantage for organisations.
Finally, Jonathan covers how leaders can respond practically to the challenge of complexity, managing it effectively and ultimately achieving organisational alignment.
