Actionable Insight Natural Laws apply to the finance-economic world of business; "From Newtonian physics and Mendelian genetics to cutting-edge chaos theories, science explains how and why the world–including the business world works the way it does. " - The Natural Laws of Business, 2001. We believe modern Darwinian evolution lends a compelling advantage in business analysis. As an example, changing from classic Total Available Market analysis to evolutionary biology 'Fitness Space' analysis provides compelling insights to branding, marketing and product development/enhancement. In this example, useful parasites should be encouraged to become valuable partners to enhance market uptake. Fitness Space competitors for resources become potential buyers or subsidiaries. When true conflict in market is unavoidable then biologic pattern responses are more efficient and effective. PEG delivers strategic management workshops for executive teams or investors with portfolio companies that bring insights to act upon. We always have a bias for action.

🌿 Mind-Blowing Plant Science Alert: Plants May Have Their Own Form of Attention! Just came across groundbreaking research that's challenging everything we thought we knew about plant intelligence. Scientists are now exploring the possibility that plants possess a form of attention - yes, you read that right! Key findings that are revolutionizing our understanding: • Plants demonstrate cognitive capabilities, including memory and learning • They can process and prioritize environmental information • Their electrical signaling patterns suggest focused attention states • Like us, they may optimize their energy by focusing on what matters most Why this matters for business leaders: This research reminds us that intelligence and adaptation come in many forms. Just as plants have evolved sophisticated ways to process information and respond to their environment, organizations must develop their own ways of "paying attention" to what matters most. The most successful organisms - whether plants or organizations - are those that can effectively filter signal from noise and direct resources where they're needed most. 💡 Leadership Insight: Perhaps the next time you're thinking about organizational attention and focus, consider that nature has been perfecting these systems for millions of years. #Innovation #OrganizationalBehavior #Leadership #Science #BusinessStrategy #NaturalIntelligence Curious to hear your thoughts: How might understanding plant intelligence change our approach to organizational attention and resource allocation? 🤔 https://lnkd.in/euQ2CZAz

This is going to be an excellent segment, especially considering the October timing. Looking forward to hearing the “Top Economics Voice” at The Chemical Summit and gaining insight into the latest economics models and the impact on Chemicals and chemical supply chains. #TheChemicalSummit24 #TheChemicalSummit #Economics

I love doing my PhD because Science never claims to have all the answers. (I wish Branding and Business were the same.) Science is a field where today's breakthroughs could be tomorrow's outdated theories. Some people hate on science for that, but the reality is— 𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚜𝚌𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎'𝚜 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚝𝚑.  Just imagine clinging to the notion that the Earth is the centre of the universe. Scary, right? Without the courage to question and correct, progress stalls. Science thrives on its ability to adapt. To embrace new evidence and insights. To rewrite our understanding of the world. It's a reminder that we are always learning. Always growing. What we know today may be rewritten tomorrow. 𝙰𝚗𝚍, 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎, 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚜 𝚒𝚗𝚟𝚒𝚐𝚘𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐. * * * * Just brilliant minds doing brilliant work. No paid ads. No guru bullsh*t. ♻️ Repost to spread some love for science.

https://lnkd.in/e_MDAG_5 From Heaps to Harmony: Rethinking Progress for a Thriving Kosmos Table of Contents ·     How does Ken Wilber use the holons concept to create a coherent, harmonious and integral understanding of the Kosmos? ·     How many tenets has he discovered and given the holistic integral perspective, can you deduce any new ones? ·     With regards to the holarchical position of economics, society and biosystems and the tenets above and emerging, can we deduce the right relationships that foster integration versus disintegrations, and can we relate the metacrises to misalignment with right relationships? ·     So aligned relationships create social holons but misaligned ones create heaps. Can you unpack this for me and show how this refraining brings greater understanding? ·     Are the indicators that we commonly use to measure success and progress really measures of aggregated heaps rather than integrated holons, and can you provide examples that can illustrate this point? ·     So by celebrating the growth of aggregate metrics as indicators of progress and success, aren’t we inadvertently celebrating our social and environmental decay? And why is this understanding still hidden in plain sight? ·     Can you explore the total range of integral indicators that are already in use, and how best to evolve and integrate them further holarchically? ·     So how does all of this relate to the concepts of “race to the bottom” and multipolar traps, and are there any other insightful memes that also relate? ·     How do the biophysical laws of thermodynamics and the entropy concept relate? ·     Can the metrics we use that are indicators of heaps be actual measures of entropy, and what are the implications if the isomorphism is correct? ·     Can you construct 5 narratives targeting different audiences from children, general audience, educators, economists and policymakers so as to really grasp this understanding? ·     Can you create a profound narrative reflecting the insights of this entire discussion?

Scientific model of the natural cycle phenomenon: changes to earth 🌍 macro systems 📈 & collective mood 🧠 Austrian-born Harvard professor Joseph Schumpeter’s paradoxical theory of  “creative destruction” warns that only during times of crisis are the seeds of new adaptive thinking considered. The 1930s Great Depression was such a period which led to a rebirth of cycle research, notably by Edward Dewey and his establishment of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles. Dewey’s original investigation of potential causal factors of crisis, at the request of US President Hoover, later evolved into his key publication “Cycles: The Mysterious Forces That Trigger Events” – highlighting a cyclical DNA blueprint in both nature and markets. This offers useful insights to our signature cycle framework, developed by mentor & veteran strategist, Robin Griffiths, later expanded in joint work together, based on an adapted version of Schumpeter’s triad framework, used today. The scientific feedback model, developed by Dr. Nick Campion, of the University of Wales, where I study; features the cause-effect process (below), resulting in fluctuations within agriculture markets, the economy and sociopolitical change. Cycle pioneers over the centuries proposed such theories, notably British Economist William Jevons and Russian Scientist Alexander Chizhevsky. Both used sunspot cycles as a key proxy for natural phenomena, changes in mood and markets. The latest solar eclipse is another marker of impactful natural phenomena. 🙏Thanks for reviewing 👍 Like 💡 Share key insights

SIGNAL: any numerical probability, I will argue — whether in a scientific paper, as part of weather forecasts, predicting the outcome of a sports competition or quantifying a health risk — is not an objective property of the world, but a construction based on personal or collective judgements and (often doubtful) assumptions. Furthermore, in most circumstances, it is not even estimating some underlying ‘true’ quantity. Probability, indeed, can only rarely be said to ‘exist’ at all. - - - Tags: social - - - What is this? Signals are part of Adventuring Ventures' research methodology for exploring possible futures. A signal is a small or local phenomenon and a potential sign of change that might grow in scale, where it shows up, or who it influences. The tags refer to 5 lenses through which we look for signals - society, technology, economics, ecology, and policy. - - -

“Based on an adaptation of the evolutionary traps concept to a global human context, we present results from a participatory mapping. We identify 14 traps and categorize them as either global, technology or structural traps. An assessment reveals that 12 traps (86%) could be in an advanced phase of trapping with high risk of hard-to-reverse lock-ins and growing risks of negative impacts on human well-being. Ten traps (71%) currently see growing trends in their indicators. Revealing the systemic nature of the polycrisis, we assess that Anthropocene traps often interact reinforcingly”

We must learn how to think before we try again what to think. Here is how.

I've been pondering our information transfer processes for a while, e.g. the news. I would like to use this article as an example: https://lnkd.in/gWfQDVw7 Now this site has a summary of each paper at the bottom with limitations and other items for consideration. Even with those, amorphous statements like this one are included in the text: “Science can yield huge benefits, but we need safeguards,” Basu says in a statement. “What those are, we do not know. But the paper urges us to pay attention to this.” As a professional scientist, what information does a quote like this communicate to me? First, the author doesn't understand science. It's used as a magic word, like Abracadabra. Science is a process of making measurements and refining our thinking. Changing our thinking with new information is theoretically what we are supposed to do, although we don't have a track record of rapid cognitive change. Therefore, we resort to the default process which is: Second, emotional manipulation "safeguards", "urging," and "attention" are requested. Not how to think about it, just what emotions to have. Third, the headline is click-bait. What's a curse anyway? Another form of magic that doesn't exist. Acquiring more accurate knowledge about our shared environment is never a bad thing. Of course, we can mess it up as humans, since that's typically what we do, but we can also theoretically make better, e.g. less emotional, decisions for our own benefit. For example, keeping more humans alive with the available resources and increasing the predictability of our shared environment could be concepts upon which we could agree, and then the "curse" goes away and we don't need "urging" or "attention". But I think we like our drama too much to willingly select a less dramatic option.
