Principlev1
Distribute optimization responsibility throughout the system
Distribute optimization responsibility throughout the system rather than treating it as a separate specialized role—every operator should simultaneously use and refine their processes.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from systems being designed to produce outcomes (Most organizational outcomes are products of system design,) and constructivist learning (Constructivist Epistemology). Those closest to the work are best positioned to observe inefficiencies. The principle prescribes embedding optimization in operational roles rather than separating it.
