Thriving on Paradox

In: Hyperinnovation

Author

  • Chris Harris

Abstract

The unavoidable difficulty with convoluted webs of innovation, is that these systems — like all complex systems — begin to exhibit paradox: behaviour and outcomes that seem absurd or contradictory; yet they are in fact well founded. Specifically, perpetual novelty, constant surprise, acausality, uncertainty and discontinuity all sit as unavoidable, yet often desirable, consequences of the kind of complex markets and technology now emerging.
