Introduction Evolutionary Management, Inc., focuses on applying the principles of evolution and complex systems, with full regard and respect for the varied wisdom of humanity’s many cultures, to practical applications in organizational and personal life. To business entities and individuals, we offer consulting and investment services, and to individuals and organizations, speaking and educational products. In the world of business, Evolutionary Management, Inc., specializes in launching new organizations and helping more established ones recover the flexibility, vitality and growth of earlier years. Our approach is a multidimensional combination of proven managerial methods, specific evaluation of and capitalization on uncertainty and risk, and rigorous examination of assumptions and alternatives. We are experienced in high technology and organizational development, yet rely on sound, human-based and ethical business practices. Our belief is that innovation in any sphere is a dynamic and complex process. Conceptually, the development of organizations, markets and technologies, as well as personal lives, is comparable to biological evolution. Operationally, many interacting variables exist, and conditions can and often do change rapidly. For all of these reasons, we feel that business as well as personal innovation is best achieved through maximum diligence, alignment of all decision-making with a broad overview, and a healthy sense of humility and foundational respect for all stakeholders. We prefer operating at or ahead of the advancing front of technology and market norms. Our practice is based on a collaborating and facilitating relationship, rather than authoritative direction. In other words, we work with partners and clients to help them identify and solve their problems. Of course, our interactions are completely confidential. The services of Evolutionary management, Inc., can be obtained on either a consulting basis or through membership on the management team. Travel is flexible from our home base in Maine and satellite offices in Ohio and Washington. Qualifications of President - Charles L.
