In his talk, Adam Timlett showed us how biological organisms can be useful and accurate analogs of human organisations, if the translation to human organisational theory is done carefully and with rigor using high quality biology theory.
Organisations are difficult to understand when they become too big to be experienced by one person. They are even difficult to understand from a scientific perspective since they are difficult to analyse using controlled experiments. Because biological organisms are similar enough to human organisations, and nature selects them for viability, biology can give us useful and accurate information about what makes human organisations viable & non-viable, based on high quality theory from hundreds of thousands of controlled experiments on biological organisms.
