Daily Dose: Information Flow is Everything

in #emergence7 years ago

 Your Daily Dose of Self Awareness

Every problem has something in common: information flow.

Elegant solutions are simple: The elegance of simple solutions is a hint to the resolution of _all_ problems.

Follow this path: Decrease barriers to information flow and get a higher quantity of higher quality feedback. Reverse engineer that feedback into a roadmap from the current state of the system to a state that the system has deemed more desirable.

Why it works: Feedback is the reaction of the system to cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the result of obstructed information flow.

NOTE: Feedback can be uncomfortable and you should be self-aware enough to realize when you are being your own barrier.

You must desire change in order to see problems as "information barriers." To solve a problem is to get accurate information to its destination. The destination of accurate information is the place where it can effect the most change. If change is not needed, then information is not needed. If information is still needed, then there are still changes to make. A problem is not negative, it is just barely enough feedback to tell you that more feedback is required, which is the meta of what a problem is.

*Do you understand?*

The fact that you can tell it is a problem is some small amount of accurate information reaching you and, if you can effect the needed change, you are that information's destination.

People say, "Don't overthink it!" but don't tell you what to do instead. Do this:

Don't think about it more; think about it better.

Pay attention to the flow of information around you.

Thank you for reading this. I really appreciate your time.

by the way just spotted the #emergence tag you have put on this post. Emergence is also a behaviour of complex systems and a systems thinking concept. Will start posting under that tag too!

Again, great eye for detail, friend! It is not by accident I keep using this word :)

saving for later :)
