Potenziare l’innovazione organizzativa per la gestione e la valorizzazione della complessità

  • Carlo Odoardi
  • Nicola Cangialosi

This contribution is part of the framework of the relationship between complexity and innovation as a construct to be delineated in its articulations in order to deeply understand its meaning. Research has highlighted that complexity is a multidimensional variable where context also has an influence in determining a new way of learning to determine individual but above all collective thinking in managing and enhancing complexity itself. If we try to transfer the construct of complexity to organisational and work contexts and in particular how to cope with it, this can be analysed by focusing on professional networks or networks where different knowledge and skills if integrated can manage it determining new development opportunities both for an organisational system and for a professional community through the promotion and activation of innovative behaviours at individual, team and organisational level.
