Hi, it is rather surprising how much in business, medicine, politics, etc, lacks healthy interplay between theory and practice and/or enough such interplay and early enough. Some does. But a lot does not.
So, just the zen idea of medium steps? Medium step, observe feedback, another medium step, etc. Simple idea, but often not followed, circumstances are such that often cannot be followed, but if it can . . .
Also Alan Cooper's intriguing book
The Inmates Are Running the Asylum: Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How to Restore the Sanity (now, I didn't like the part where he excused mean jocks and ran down nerds, but other than that, a good book). So, it's not about desiging something, and then neat, clean, perfect 'corporate' feedback. No, it's about feedback early when it can still make a difference. Embrace the messiness and imperfection of the whole thing. 'Better to be approximately correct than exactly mistaken,' that kind of thing.
That's great advice. It makes sense because I am NOT a perfectionist, and believe strongly that "good enough" can be just that. Lots of people think that's sloppy thinking, but I look at perfectionists and see how miserable many are. They often fail because they can't see the big picture, and are so terribly unhappy when they do fail. I'm trying to cultivate a mindset of "go with the flow."
