About this title

About the Authors

DAVID KOMLOS is an entrepreneur and early-stage investor who, after his second exit, became intent on applying the Complexity Formula to some of the most interesting and high-stakes situations in the world, from Fortune 15 boardrooms to international aid, content creation in sports and entertainment, to improving access to life-saving products. David's life has been incredibly enriched and shaped by these experiences, and today he enjoys strong personal relationships with top global leaders. He and his spouse, Jennifer, live in Toronto with their daughter and two sons.

David Benjamin is the co-founder of Syntegrity and the chief architect behind its implementation of the Complexity Formula as laid out in his book, Cracking Complexity. David regularly guides leaders and their teams through their application of the formula, helping them get to decisions and action in days, no matter the industry, type of challenge, or nature of the organization. In this capacity, David has become a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies and government leaders on how to organize for complexity and find traction in the face of the intractable. He frequently speaks on a wide range of topics related to complexity, effective and efficient problem-solving, and human dynamics in systems. David spends most of the rest of his time and energy on writing, family, long-distance running and cracking cryptic crosswords. David and his wife, Angie, live near Toronto and have three incredibly talented daughters whom he loves equally.

'Every once in a while, a really great idea comes along. Cracking Complexity is one of those points of brilliance! While the idea, or formula, has been around for quite some time, codifying it is going to make it accessible and I believe that will have global, positive ramifications.'
CHIP CONLEY, New York Times bestselling author, Strategic Advisor for Hospitality and Leadership, Airbnb

'I'll admit, I was skeptical when I first read the title of this book. I mean, a formula for solving just about anything fast certainly seemed too good to be true. After seeing the process laid out, I'm a believer.'
KEITH FERRAZZI, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Who's Got Your Back and Never Eat Alone

'Cracking Complexity is a road map for finding innovation by solving your toughest problems in a consistent and repeatable process.'
