020. BEAUTY

What role does beauty play beyond appreciation, especially in institutional life? 

A lot more than we might think. Whether it's in navigating the unknown, seeing the bigger picture, or individual and group wellbeing, beauty is an integral part of what it means to be human, understand and move in the world. Yet it is often sidelined as a decorative extra or nice to have in our institutions - but what if it's so much more than that?

How does beauty help us see beyond ourselves or our circumstances? What role could it play in decision-making? What if beauty is one of the most important signals of coherence in complex environments, even businesses?
