We live in a complex world, navigating complex issues seemingly at every turn. So, we must take care not to add to that complication.
It’s an easy trap to fall into…to over engineer what we do and how. Whether that’s stacking the messages in our communication, seeking a more complex solution when the obvious will work, or layering bureaucracy into our processes.
The point? In the world of organisation now simplicity is hard to come by. What we mustn’t do is complicate the simple any more than we must dumb down the complex. When you look at your scope of responsibility have you got the balance right?
