The Three Rules of the Swarm

42 minutes

Lorne Mitchell, MD of Objective Designers, and business architect talks with Alessandro about the lessons we can take from nature with a particular emphasis on the parallels that can be made between bee swarms and business organisations

Every swarm is governed by a set of rules and Lorne explains how the principles of orientation, alignment, attraction, alignment, cohesion, and separation work both in a swarm and within an organisation, both entities made up of individuals.

We are a part of nature and need to be inspired and work with it, listen in and hear more

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Bees have been around for fifty million years so they are a lot older and wiser than we are

The swarm is an organism in its own right, although it’s made up of individual bees, and is governed by a set of rules

The rule of orientation/alignment – where each bee will line up with the bees around it

Smart people see where things are heading and get out in front of the crowd

The rule of attraction and cohesion – a bee that is out of the group will try to get back in the main body

Swarming plays a role in helping the bees to be less vulnerable

We want to be part of something that’s bigger than ourselves either with a relationship with someone else or as part of a group

The rule of separation focuses on the parts that make up the whole

In both swarms and businesses the leader is giving the instructions

Allowing parts to integrate, in a natural flowing way, benefits all the parts involved

You are working with the individual to make the whole organisation better

Philosophy, the natural world, and the ancient wisdom come together to create a model that tests the future playfully and seeks integration

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s the magic of their energy’

‘The dynamic of ‘Am I in, or am I out?’ gets played out in the swarm’

‘We’ve lost the natural aspect of seeing the parts’
