Complexity is a funny concept but not in a humorous way.
I'm almost always working with intricate business challenges. They are important questions hitherto merely surfed upon by busy seniors in large enterprises.
I hear interested by-passers, other people in the business (but new to the panoramic walls we have been worked hard on for a few days) say to me upon entering the room that while it looks incredible isn't it all a bit complex? My answer is a light-hearted - "Well if you think this looks complex, try not doing it"
I am being serious though.
Prior to us creating this wall of debate and decision can you imagine the wicked ball of string? The differing and contentious thoughts of these earnest protagonists hanging like pregnant bats from the white hot rocks of an erupting volcano.
Imagine the leadership not collaborating - not figuring out the gazillion dynamics affecting every business challenge. And worse not doing it in a way that wrestled the damn thing to the ground with some sense of smartness, rigor or focus.
Definitely not funny.
