Dan North lives from speaking at conferences, corporate events and tutoring classes, so coming up with novel, memorable terms is his trade mark. I attended such a class ("software, faster" [2] or something like that) around 2016. It was very entertaining, a much needed escape from corporate reality and full of great insights and "aha" moments, but none of that had a lasting impact on me. Dan's way is to reduce complex topics into simple categories - like in the OP post, he speaks about the "Dreyfus model of clinically acquired skills" [1], or pulls out a complexity-impact diagram etc. This reduction of complex topics to simple categories greatly impresses upper management with simple messages and gave us, the foot folk, hopes that we finally found the lever with which we'd make things better. But the category choices and reduction procedure seem arbitrary and I've found the messages imparted of little value in work life and corporate reality.
