Complexity science Complexity science or quantum science looks at change, how it works, what it means, where it moves and where it is going. It is a group of theoretical constructs that look at a universe and its elements as complex adaptive systems. It seeks relationships between and among all things and attempts to define the nature of those relationships. In the current work environment, it is feasible as it recognizes that individuals are important but more important is the relationship between individuals and their relationship in a system. Complexity science encourages groups to function in an interdependent environment and be cognizant of how each decision affects other departments. It requires managers to possess skills to integrate group activities, to cross group boundaries and to see all systems as a fundamental set of relationships. My current work environment is the Operating Room which requires many of the skills listed. The Operating room’s function is very interdependent with other departments and requires good
