Topical Meeting
July 19, 2010
Modeling Organizational Complexity 
Held at Intel, Santa Clara, CA
Co-organized by SFI Business Network and Eleanor Wynn, Principal Engineer, IT Innovation, Intel.
Complexity science has matured into a major paradigm in the sciences. Its concepts and methods are used in climate and population studies, defense strategy and other policy areas where conventional methods are inadequate for understanding large, multi-variable, multi-constraint problems. This topical meeting will focus on the utility and value of complexity science for strategy and operations of large global enterprises that show all the properties of complex systems: increasingly intricate products and production processes, recombinable product elements, changing scale of products, rapidly altering and emerging markets with feedback cycles between product and market demand, new forms of competition, geographically distributed workforces with cultural diversity, with all of the above operating in turbulent economic and political contexts. Intel Corporation has joined with Santa Fe Institute Business Network to address a few of these concerns in hopes of consolidating current research and inspiring others to explore the concepts and methods of complex systems to core problems facing large businesses today.
