Lambert’s research has led to the discovery and development of simple rules arising from complexity science that can have a profound affect on the creativity and innovation efforts of individuals and organizations, rules which also inform product or service launch initiatives. This research reveals that highly creative individuals and organizations are more dynamic along a number of continuums. Understanding these dynamics, and learning to be flexible along them, opens the door to the necessary dynamic balance organizations require to optimize the present while preparing for the future.
