Major Tom Gaines is an officer currently assigned to Army Special Operations Command.
Dr. Angus Fletcher (PhD, Yale) is professor of story science at Ohio State’s Project Narrative.
They will use their Modern War Institute article, The limits of logic: Why narrative thinking is better suited to the demands of modern combat, as a foundation for the call.
Major Tom Gaines and Dr. Angus Fletcher will speak about how you can use narrative and creativity to help gain the initiative and maintain momentum throughout your endeavors.
Why be more creative?
Creativity is your brain's superpower to adapt to fast-changing, life-and-death environments, from overcoming emergent challenges to leveraging emergent opportunities.
It's what enabled our species to thrive in the chaotic and uncertain ecosystems of evolution by natural selection.
It makes us antifragile in situations where computer AI turns brittle, and it will allow you to outcompete and win in volatile, unstable domains.
