Actually, both ideas are related. Since, to innovate you… Continue reading

It states that organizations which design systems … are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations Remember this next time you think to yourself: “who concocted this overly complex, twisted, lasagna-like dumbo… Continue reading
