They exemplify a new approach that consists of acting our way into the new Complexity thinking.<\/li><li>This new approach shifts up-side-down the centre of gravity of the conversation around Complexity, from the theory to the practice. It makes practice prominent. And it wants to engage hands-on practitioners, problem-solvers and tinkerers.<\/li><li>All these practices are based on social complexity and anthro-complexity. Therefore, they fully recognise the unique qualities of the human element, and that we are not algorithms, cellular automata, nor hives.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:149px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/complexity-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2016\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"text-ads\">\n\t<h3>Navigate everyday Complexity.<\/h3>\n\t<p>\n\t<br>\n\tSee how we can help.\n\t<br>\n\tYou, your team, your organisation.\n\t<br><br>\n\t<\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"local-scroll\">\n\t\t<a href=\"\/coaching.html#one_session\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" btn elastic-btn-mod btn-mod btn-dark btn-medium btn-round\" onclick=\"ga('send','event','Blog complexity-ads','Click one_session button','Virtual Mentoring');\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\tVirtual Mentoring\n\t\t<\/a> \n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/leanpub.com\/livingcomplexity\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn elastic-btn-mod btn-mod btn-dark btn-medium btn-round\" onclick=\"ga('send','event','Blog complexity-ads','Click buy_the_book button','Buy the Book');\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\tBuy the Book\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An InfoQ article on practices inspired by Complexity theory that can be used everyday in Software and Digital Products development<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2408,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-livingcomplexity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2387"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2387\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2388,"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2387\/revisions\/2388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
