DevOps for Both Discontinuous and Continuous Improvements
According to Dr. Russell Ackoff, pioneer of systems design theory. “Discontinuous improvements are more important than continuous improvements” because creativity is a disruptive process. True quality focuses on value not efficiency. And to achieve quality it is essential to engineer a system as a whole, and not only improve its parts. This viewpoint is different […]
