Our world is increasingly volatile and unpredictable--organizations need to be on their toes. Over evolutionary time, the most successful species are those that adapt to change. The same is true in business, yet we design for efficient scale-up, standardizing production to match the predictions of a few. Biologists know diversity is the raw feedstock of evolution, yet we systematically suppress it.
We need a new way to organize and work. Earth's oldest and most successful societies can show us how.
Superorganisms like ants and honeybees have perfected the art of collaboration over tens of millions of years, compounding their wealth from one generation to the next--without bosses, administration, targets, regulations, or paychecks. With twelve simple principles and five simple patterns-Collective Intelligence, Swarm Creativity, Distributed Leadership, Trust, and Regenerative Value-Teeming shows how unique and independent members of superorganisms share work and wealth to create adaptive hotspots of resilience, opportunity, and abundance. Our organizations can do the same.
