The Clock and the Cat

Complexity podcast - on how the simple ideas of complexity can make a clattering great difference to... mostly everything - by @markwfoden (and Tibbles)

Just finished re-listening to @clockandthecat @markwfoden podcast. As enjoyable as the first time - great exploration of #complexity. Definitely recommend a listen. Thanks @CollectiveScot for highlighting initially and @MlinaValdelivr1 for the reminder!

Reminded today of the importance to make sure we are not seeking to apply linear and mechanistic solutions to issues which are complex and require a different approach. This podcast series from @markwfoden is a helpful route in. https://t.co/j9DmJ8Zr0E

This leapt from the early pages of @ProfChrisMowles’ new book on complexity

@bmj_latest @chrischirp @martinmckee @dgurdasani1 I run this podcast on complexity. Please DM if you’d be interested in recording an episode about the ideas in your paper.

There are many places where the loss of a few people with particular skills can bring the entire enterprise to a halt—what is worrying is that the NHS is one of them @martinmckee @chrischirp @dgurdasani1 https://t.co/qIq6eMWfgq

We should have something called Systems Doing

@teh_aimee Kind of you to mention - good luck!

[Rebecca Thomas @Rebecca30086133]

Just listened to my first episode of @clockandthecat podcast by @markwfoden thank you so much @Jendaffin for the recommendation so much to digest and consider around complexity and how we can apply it to our work. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.

Great podcast

[Mark Foden @[email protected] @markwfoden]

Hard to see how we shall cope with what’s ahead without understanding complexity. The ideas are visceral and paradoxically simple to grasp but their implications (for the powerful in particular) are counterintuitive and not that palatable. Which is an issue for all of us.

@JohnRKenney @rumon @gordonr @markwfoden @clockandthecat Love that podcast!

Loved all the generous responses to the question below. Thank you.

Here's the current structure of the argument on "new forms of organization in public administration (as a response to a changing environment)" (subject to - *a whole lot of* - change)

Fab article about the daftness of trying to build things that need to be grown - @Heino1Olli @clockandthecat

@teh_aimee Smile, again. Am sure you’d love it. I talk about it (and the thinking that underpins it) more in Episode 8 with Eric Wenzel.

@teh_aimee Possibly this?
