In science and innovation networks, many experts argue that solutions to the colossal problems we face are available today. However, attempts to implement and scale these solutions to system levels get stuck by default. Projects fail for the same reasons as their predecessors. A group of Individuals with such experiences began to ask questions like:
• What do initiative owners really need to get their high-impact solutions through the system?
• What do decision-makers really need to make the problem-solving decisions?
The findings were shocking:
• With complex matters, verifying decisions against relevant Laws of Nature has disappeared from decision-making. Two laws almost certain to occur are the Tipping Point and Capacity Bottleneck Laws of Nature.
• For over two decades, relevant Laws of Nature from physics, engineering, and mathematics have been missed or overruled. Nature does not allow this. The damage is colossal.
• Large groups have become so accustomed to Tipping Points in organizational, managerial, societal, and health contexts being crossed that they no longer worry about the Tipping Points of climate change and biodiversity, or they have given up hope.
Conclusion
The only solution powerful enough to solve the existential threats we face may be the (re-)integration of relevant Laws of Nature in decision-making.
