The “Complexity” Quotes of “Digital Master” Apr, 2020

"Digital Master” is a series of guidebooks (28 + books) to perceive the multi-faceted impact digital is making to the businesses and society, help forward-thinking organizations navigate through the journey in a systematic way, and avoid “rogue digital.”

It perceives the emergent trends of digital leadership, provides advice on how to run a digital organization to unleash its full potential and improve agility, maturity, and provide insight about Change Management. It also instructs the digital workforce on how to shape a game-changing digital mindset and build the right set of digital capabilities to compete for the future. Here is a set of “Complexity” quotes in “Digital Master.






1 The simplicity and complexity are just opposite ends of the same spectrum. That compounds all "problems." You need complexity to understand and appreciate the simplicity and vice versa.


2 Unnecessary complexity arises not from nothing. Humans create, though unintentionally in most cases their own problems. Therefore, they have to untie the knots they made themselves.

3 Not every complexity is bad, all the intelligent beings are complex at a certain level, the point is how to eliminate the unnecessary complexity (complication) to make it elegant.

4 There are many shades of corporate complexity today, such as hierarchical complexity, information density, network complexity because of the number of nodes and connections in the organizational environment.

5 Complexity can be managed to convey “just right” simplicity, and in the core of simplicity lies complexity.

6 If most managers still apply old silo management mindsets to new ways of organizing and collaborating, over-complexity will continue to be the biggest challenge in the business today.

7 The complexity comes in due to business volatility, diversity, unpredictability, nonlinearity, rules and regulation, hybrid structure, and increased business flux working and impacting together. Complexity is a sort of intelligence from a scientific angle.

8 The digital leaders and managers just have to understand the multifaceted complexity systematically and strike the balance of “Keeping things simple,” and optimizing complexity to achieve digital equilibrium.

9 There are at least two ways to look at complexity. The first is to try to analyze what the impact of complexity is on a system; the second is to look for the impact of removing some of the complications or unnecessary complexity by simplification or optimization.
