The
\nProject The CUOA Complexity Community is a community of practice where members can exchange knowledge and experiences in the field of complexity sciences applied to management.
\nThis \u201ccommunity of practice\u201d is a space where every member has the opportunity for lifelong learning based on the sharing of skills, practices, ideas, studies, research, experiments, and more.
\nIntelligence is distributed and must be harnessed and valued in collaborative environments such as this community. The future belongs to \u201cmany-minded\u201d organizations, and we aim to be like a Renaissance \u201cworkshop\u201d where people can expand their awareness, learn, interact, exchange ideas, and improve their skills.
\nCommunities of practice are self-organized systems based on shared interests, professional diversity, mutual relationships, the exchange of both tacit and explicit knowledge, and cooperative learning. The construction of shared collective knowledge enables the development of authentic cognitive redundancy grounded in open-mindedness, new perspectives, intellectual curiosity, and deviance. The reward is a compelling one: cognitive enrichment that allows us to navigate the seas of complexity as \u201cwise\u201d individuals.
\nEnhancing Professional Knowledge
\nCUOA Business School proposes the \u201cComplexity Community\u201d because it believes this is the only way to enhance professional knowledge\u2014which is distinct from scientific knowledge, yet complements and enriches it. Professional knowledge is created during the decision-making process and through the actions of professionals who tackle ill-defined, unique, and ever-changing problems.
\nDonald A. Sch\u00f6n (1930\u20131997), a professor at MIT, described this process of building professional knowledge as \u201creflective practice.\u201d
\nSch\u00f6n argues: \u201cUsually, reflection on knowing-in-action goes hand in hand with reflection on the \u2018things\u2019 at hand. There is a phenomenon\u2014somewhat problematic, unsettling, or interesting\u2014that the individual is trying to address. While seeking to make sense of it, the individual also reflects on the understandings implicit in their action\u2014understandings that they bring to light, critique, restructure, and incorporate into subsequent action. It is this overall process of reflection in action that is central to the art through which professionals sometimes address situations characterized by uncertainty, instability, uniqueness, and conflicts of values.\u201d
\nAccording to the professor, reflection during action involves: \u201cBringing to the surface in the moment, critiquing, restructuring, and evaluating intuitive understandings of the phenomena being experienced; often, it takes the form of a reflective conversation with the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Our Community’s Logo<\/p>\n
Thanks to the invaluable contribution of Prof. Giuseppe Zollo and after involving all Community members, we have launched our Community logo.
\nThe logo is an icon of complexity science and stems from the idea of a community that branches out and grows, grows, grows.<\/p>\n
Training Programs<\/p>\n
Managing Complexity with Generative AI
\nThe Course \u201cManaging Complexity with Generative AI\u201d is a course designed for entrepreneurs, managers, and professionals who intend to use Generative Artificial Intelligence as a strategic lever to navigate uncertainty, support decision-making processes, and govern complex systems.
\nThe program promotes collaboration between humans, generative AI systems (understood as complex adaptive systems), and agents. The focus is on developing the cognitive, design, and decision-making skills necessary to operate in contexts characterized by ambiguity, nonlinearity, and rapid change.<\/p>\n
