When we talk about designing and developing #systems, we are talking about thoughtful #action not just thinking, and we are talking about strategy #execution not just strategy. Most of the universe exists between great ideas and turnkey solutions. The inventive process is both messy and #dialectical replete with #tension among disparate #perspectives about both the costs and the benefits. The #trajectorial objectives rarely lead to #outcomes that could have been fully anticipated
Lots of people assume the legendary architect Frank Gehry is some sort of mad artist whose wildly imaginative buildings are the product of a single, dazzling flash of inspiration. Nothing could be further from the truth. As Prof. Bent Flyvbjerg and I discuss in "How Big Things Get Done," Gehry's process is one of relentless iteration -- "What if we did this? What if we did that?" -- which he overwhelmingly does in collaboration with his team, external partners, and his clients. I wish like heck we had known about this interview with Steve Jobs when we were writing the book because, even though Jobs is discussing how ideas become products in tech, he nails it: This is how Frank Gehry produces visionary architecture, on time and on budget. https://lnkd.in/emW48isF
