Trust the System
The way leaders are problem solving in the world we live in today is changing.
The World Economic Forum has been touting the practice of systems thinking for years, which you can loosely define as a way of viewing problems and the path to their solutions in a multi-dimensional approach, as opposed to a linear path.
Similarly, the concept of biomimicry, or analyzing a problem and evaluating solutions based on how nature would approach it, is another concept taking off in the business landscape. Especially as business and governments try to align behind sustainability goals and targets.
In this episode, three entrepreneurial leaders talk about how systems thinking and biomimicry help drive their businesses from ocean cleanup to becoming simultaneously profitable and water positive.
