In episode 95, whilst exploring the nuances of everyday occurrences and slipping between conscious states of being, The Occupational Philosophers dive into the concept of ambiguity.
Why?
The reason? So many challenges that need to be solved have a huge amount of ambiguity around them.
- There may be multiple answers
- It's a multi-faceted question
- It's something where there are no comparable, predictable scenarios
- As such, there is risk
What to do?
It's hard for organisations to sit in this space as they are hardwired to try and rationally avoid risk and to look after their profits and shareholders.
However, innovation is born from that space of uncertainty, experimentation and what often hasn't been done before.
Herein lies a conundrum!
The Occupational Philosophers go for a swim in the lake of ambiguity, backstroking through curious questions and diving to the bottom to pick up some rocks of enlightenment.
Whilst not having all the answers, they did feel slightly smarter at the end of the episode.
They also dive into the ambiguous mind puzzle of the Rubix Cube. Mmmm....
The Occupational Philosophers hope you enjoy the show!
FYI: This is a shorter episode 'in between' the longer format episodes designed to give a little kickstart to enable you to be the most curious, creative and imaginative cat you can be - and have some fun in the process
