Episode 1: Why the Art of Complexity

What’s in the Name?

Complex situations provide seemingly impossible problems that affect our daily environment. These problems are created by a variety of difficult circumstances and it is our job to fix them! Whether the cause stems from work, family, society, or our relationships, we cannot hide from the complex world we call home.

Ep. #1 of “The Art of Complexity”, introduces the “What” and “Why” of complexity. Simply put, how can one challenge the status-quo using theory and informed, intuitive judgment to help solve their wicked problems.

We want to inspire you to greatness. That to me answers the true “Why” of the podcast (4:50)

Lean into this thoughtful conversation as Roy and Vince, co-founders of GiNOSKO.CO, take on the unique differences between problems being “complex” verse “complicated.” These key points will allow you to adapt your thinking and actions based on informed, intuitive judgment. Through understanding the notion of “What is complexity” you will see that the “framing” of the system matters. The framing you adopt will create pathways to navigate and tackle the issues before you.
