The Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function of time (or space) into a function of frequency. In essence, it decomposes a complex signal into its constituent sinusoidal components, each with a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase. This is

I talk quite a lot about the importance of taking a 'complex systems' approach to understanding certain systems, such as big organisations or the economy. This approach also provides us with a different way to think about why these systems fail. #complexsystems

In our latest episode of #simplifyingcomplexity, Nicholas Gruen and Rory Sutherland go head to head to debate the virtues (or not) of 'systems thinking'. One of the most entertaining episodes we've ever recorded. Apple Podcasts podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/sim… Spotify open.spotify.com/show/3SfqApqNW…

Are organisations in high hazard industries going about managing psychosocial risk in an effective manner? Many organisations will have programs, but what are these programs actually designed to achieve? #highreliabilityorganisations #psychosocialrisk

"When you can't measure what's important, you make what you can measure important." This week's video examines how we sometimes choose metrics inside our organisations because they are the only thing we can measure, not because they are a good measure. But just because we can
