About this Presentation
In our search for inherent simplicity we suddenly have a body of knowledge growing immensely to do that. The miscommunication of data: we have the system or reality I am trying to describe, predict, etc. I collect data and run statistics and provide a data summary as the description of reality. My boss creates a picture of the understanding of others in the organization of my description. Four different data sets are shown to produce the same statistics. What are the system implications of miscommunication (an unintended gap between my goal and the understanding of the system)? The gap between reality and perceived reality can cause bad actions. The Challenger disaster is discussed. The cloud concerning message variation (short versus long) is provided. A is Improve system, B Ensure everybody has all information necessary to make a good decision. This requires D Provide a large and detailed report. The other requirement is B Recognize time and resource constraints of people in the organization which requires D’ Provide an executive summary. The conflict is then between D Provide a large and detailed report and D’ Provide an executive summary. Effect-cause-effect logic and the cloud have proven powerful and easy to use thinking processes (TP) to simplify communications in business and personal life.
