"How do I explain it to you?" - my question
Recently a gentlemen walked in my office and asked me to explain the capital project flow. So I started explaining it from start to end.
He said that he wanted to learn it from end to start. The process consists of over 25 steps.
This exchange made me think. I was presenting the ideal process to him. He was interested in understanding the real process flow with all of the problems along the steps.
I believe that in order to understand a process I tend to want to understand the ideal flow. This takes away the noise of reality. But once the ideal has been learned then the real flew can be studied and optimized.
Today's question is:
"Would you prefer to learn the ideal or real flow of a system?"
