Their goal is to apply complex systems science to value chain innovation, management and relationships; turning what is generally perceived as a threat of our time — spill-over effects across borders, boundaries and silos — into a resource to solve the wicked challenges.
In plain English:
The 21st century world faces hard to understand problems. Dark Matter Labs combines innovations, data and organizations to solve the major problems with sharing education and information, creating working environments and making engines for change.
Indy Johar focuses on two key system domains – one place based across Cities, Towns, Neighbourhoods and another spanning our corporate supply chains.
Change in this world cannot be designed as a strategy written for an organisation. Instead it needs the investment in growing shared intent, open missions, shared language, collective intelligence and action.
Dark Matter Laboratories applies an experimentation method typical of a fieldwork scientific laboratory, it runs real-world research and prototypes to verify their validity and application on the ground. It is committed to the open sourcing of all its research, tools and techniques in order to maximise impact.
