- carapace 8y ago- "General Systemantics" by John Gall ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemantics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemantics ) It's humorous but I'm being serious. He has such chestnuts as: "A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works."
- rymohr 8y agoLove John Gall's approach to systems. There's actually a section in Kumu's manifesto that quotes Gall's law: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system. https://kumu.io/manifesto#start-with-simple https://kumu.io/manifesto#start-with-simple
