[[First Principles|I like to understand how things work]]. I'm on a journey to better understand the mental concepts that business leaders must equip themselves with to enable their organisations to thrive today, and in the future. [[Home#The fundamental question in strategy|To improve their capacity for free and independent action]] My research interest is in emerging theory-informed practice applicable to the [[70 Evolutionary Potential/The Vault/Complexity|complexity]] of human systems. Today, many businesses suffer from a tyranny of action, stuck misusing practices suitable for ordered systems, and lacking the deeper understanding necessary to remove or overcome the obstacles they face. So, this is where I focus my research efforts. As a creative, I can't help but seek out the problems that need to be solved. Challenging the status quo, and facilitating organisations and teams to think bigger and do the right thing--not just the wrong thing ‘righter’! Sometimes you need to slow down in order to go faster. So, I'm happiest solving complex strategic issues. I love to learn new concepts and then share them with others. My journey so far has traversed a broad range of domains including, but not limited to: [[Business Strategy|business strategy]], [[40 Slipbox/43 Seedling/Digital Transformation|digital transformation]], [[Innovation|innovation]], [[Marketing|marketing]], [[Leadership|leadership]], [[Behavioral Economics|behavioural economics]], [[Evolutionary Biology|evolutionary biology]], [[Complexity Science|complexity science]], [[Systems Thinking|systems thinking]], and [[Productivity|productivity]]. The list continues to grow. I'm grateful to live in the middle of England with my beautiful wife, two children (boys), and our dog--a Podenco Andaluz rescued from the streets of Murcia, Spain. When I'm not working, reading, or writing, we enjoy spending family time together exploring the countryside (weather permitting), partaking in sports, playing games, and watching movies. ###### Related down:: [linkedin.com/in/anthonydickinson/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonydickinson/) ![[LinkedIn_logo_initials.png|25]] --- Banner photo by [Shiromani Kant](https://unsplash.com/@shiromanikant?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash) on [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/photos/white-and-blue-printer-paper-mo3FOTG62ao?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash)
