The Melbourne Emergence Meetup Group Pages

Complexity is a burgeoning science spilling into management practice. With its orgins in chemistry and biology, complexity is the science of many connected things. It recognises that the relationship among these many things is frequently non-linear; a small event can have a large impact and vice versa. It recognises that a complex system is impossible to predict in detail yet patterns re-emerge - similar but never the same. It recognises there is no directing force yet order can emerge - complex system are self-organising. It recognises that equilibrium is never achieved as positive feedback increases the complexity within the system.

Complexity science may be a useful metaphor for better understanding organisations or perhaps a new theoretical framework for management science. Either way this meetup is an opportunity to meet others in Melbourne who are interested in discussing this topic, sharing resources and making more connections in our complex world.
