Radical Simplification Uprofessionalismen er ligefrem proportional med
antallet af røde streger mellem komponenter og færdige produkter. Fortæller om hvor nemt det er, at facelifte.
Hvor godt er det lykkedes at isolere i funktionelle enheder.
R&D = relax & delay No unified syntax for the cost of variety (where does
the cost exist – between the departments?) Suitable governance? Architects and development
managers with the last vote? Companies need a general language on these issues

Complexity cost increase over time Unique solutions = unique problems Lousy methods when starting up development

change components, but interfaces needs to be approved by the Board of Directors
Scania CTO runs a small transport firm in parallel…

Generating new ideas is invention.
