Event Details
Unintended consequences or "second-order effects" are common in business, tech, politics, and every facet of our lives. Let's learn why by looking at examples, causes of these effects, and counteractions.
In this one-hour talk, we'll discuss examples of unintended consequences in ecosystems, environmental protection, seeking certainty or preserving uncertainty, scaling businesses, self-defeating predictions, and more... How did these consequences come about? And what could be done (if anything) to prevent them?
For examples before the event, visit the Unintended Consequences site that I write on this topic.
Look forward to see you there. When you sign up I'll follow up with information on how to join the video discussion.
