The best dev orgs I've seen recognise that the thing they're building is capability, and that software's a byproduct of that process.
@jasongorman "In the long run, the only sustainable source of competitive edge is your organisation's ability to learn faster than its competitors" - the fifth discipline
@jocrossick @jasongorman I've come to believe that "learn" here has to be broadly defined to include adaptation. Simply knowing what should be done is not enough.
@cford @jasongorman Agree, and Senge specifically talks about "learning" in terms of adjusting and changing in response to new realities in The Fifth Discpline.
@jocrossick @cford @jasongorman Is passive adaptation enough though? In a complex environment that you invariably will affect, good or bad? Maladaptation is bad for all.
@trondhjort @cford @jasongorman It's a good read and I'd recommend diving into some of Senge's arguments yourself. Specifically, "the illusion of taking control" and "cause and effect are separated in time and space".
I think the whole point is really about the fact that learning is not that easy, and people end up putting in changes which are actually based on fallacies and shallow understanding
@jocrossick @cford @jasongorman Not questioning Senge here (leave that for another time) but more the passive adaptation.
@trondhjort @cford @jasongorman Passive adaption wasn't the message I got at all from The Fifth Discipline
