Keep an eye out for our new
\nworkshops in the\u00a0Spring<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are trying to put our ideas into practice \u2013 helping organize a community to make wiser decisions by more efficient diffusion of innovations.<\/div>\n

We facilitate the rapid diffusion of innovative information throughout an organization.<\/h3>\n

We do this is by\u00a0combining models and research describing how human communities effectively deal with complex problems, with modern computational aproaches for detailing how human social networks are constructed. \u00a0This allows us to examine and optimize these networks, moving creative solutions rapidly through an organization and reducing the social friction that so often makes it impossible\u00a0to adapt to changing environments.<\/p>\n

\n

Solving modern complex problems\u00a0is about collaborations and conversations, leveraging human social networks into the digital realm. This is how\u00a0complexity\u00a0will be dealt with.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We help organizations succeed with their internal and external conversations, accelerating the movement of complex data as it is transformed from information into the knowledge needed to make a decision or take an action.<\/p>\n

The information column to the right of this webpage has some links to more information dealing with innovations and how they are adopted by a community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
