>How do Committees Invent?
In many different ways throughout this seminal paper, he seems to be saying they don't.
An important enough question raised by Conway's Law to merit the title of the piece.
"To the extent that an organization is not completely flexible in its communication structure, that organization will stamp out an image of itself in every design it produces."
"The larger an organization is, the less flexibility it has and the more pronounced is the phenomenon."
Or maybe he is saying good luck, you've got me and pleading for help.
"philosophy promises to unearth basic questions about value of resources and techniques of communication which will need to be answered before our system-building technology can proceed with confidence."
in his final sentence.
