ABOUT program

NECSI’s Executive Program has become the go-to place for leaders from all industries and sectors to learn about Complex Systems Science (CSS). CSS allows us to accurately predict real-world events and describe unintended consequences, dynamics, and emergent behaviors in real-world systems.

Because the mathematical basis for CSS is theoretical physics, courses on CSS tend to be quite technical in nature (if you are interested in a more technical introduction to the field, click here to be updated about the upcoming winter program). The most impactful CSS concepts and tools are curated by Yaneer Bar-Yam, president of NECSI and one of the field’s founders, to deliver four days of highly-applicable gems that are sure to advance decision-making and innovation in your organization.
