Perhaps it's just word definitions you and the author are disagreeing on.
Making the organization more efficient is a big win, we can probably all agree. Making the people more efficient through improved systems is a big win, we can probably all agree. Letting the people who perform the process figure out how to make it better is a vitally important part of that, though, as you point out.
But making tools and systems improvement a priority doesn't necessarily mean that we're going to elevate the systems to the point that they become sacred cows even when they get in the way of getting things done.
- spitfire 16y agoWhat about making people better at improving systems? That's what I'm talking about and what I've seen. Operating inside the OODA loop gives you exponential results. Technology is just an artifact to assist people. When you get to the point where people truly are first you create and throw away systems with ease. and you get real speed. But hey, this is HN. So it's all just internet masturbation anyways.
