Feedback loops carrying the most valuable corrective…
Feedback loops carrying the most valuable corrective information are precisely the loops you have unconsciously disabled through defensive routines, making their reconnection a prerequisite for double-loop learning.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Cognitive Dissonance Drives Information Avoidance (cognitive dissonance drives information avoidance), Belief Perseverance Against Contradictory Evidence (belief perseverance), and Single-loop learning adjusts actions within existing… (double-loop learning questions assumptions). This connects Argyris's defensive routines to feedback loop architecture. It's prescriptive — it tells you where to look for the most valuable feedback signals.
