Systems instead of Objects• Safety is a characteristic of systems and not of their components

Compasses not Maps• Maps are static snapshots

• Results without understanding are useless

Compasses not Maps• Navigation and values allow course corrections

• OODA loop

Practice instead of Theory• Science > feelings

• Prototypes and feedback beats plans

• “Let's work the problem people. Let's not make things worse by guessing.“

Disobedience over Compliance• Innovating without asking permission

Disobedience over Compliance• Shadow IT vs. ITIL

• Saying “No” vs. “Yes”
