Announcing conferences jointly sponsored by the Santa Fe Institute (SFI)
and myself (and associates, including Howard Sherman, my mentor in
philosophy mentioned in earlier communications who has made postmodern
approaches simple)

COMPLEXITY AND STRATEGY: The Intelligent Organisation

Extraordinary research over the last decade in the emerging sciences of
complexity has profound implications for organisations. Two conferences in
1995 will explore these implications. Presenters include some of the
world's leaders in the new sciences of complexity, including:

W. Brian Arthur (SFI) Robert Axelrod (UM) John Seely Brown (Xerox)
Michael Cohen (SFI) Mary Cirillo (Citicorp) Colin Crook (Citicorp)
Murray Gell-Mann (SFI) Arie de Geus (ex-Shell, LBS) Gary Hamel (LBS)
John Holland (SFI) Stuart Kauffman (SFI) Monib Khademi (Praxis)
David Lane (SFI) Chris Langton (SFI) Mike McMaster (Praxis)
Howard Sherman (Praxis) Ralph Stacey (UHert) Francisco Varela (Ecole
Polytechnique)

This conference will explore complexity, strategy and organisational design
from the perspective of an organisation's ability to learn, adapt and
innovate.
