About this episode
The episode explores coherent decision-making in complex systems with Marvin Oka, focusing on leadership, values, and the intelligence of the three brains.
In this episode with Marvin Oka, we explore the art of coherent decision-making in complex systems, weaving together adaptive leadership, self-organising dynamics, paradigmatic metaphors, and the deeper role of vision, values, and feedback loops in transformational change.
