In our Big Shift world, we confront the imperative of institutional innovation – shifting from institutional models built on scalable efficiency to institutional models built on scalable learning. I’ve written and spoken about this a lot over the years and one of the most common pushbacks I get is – “so, are you against efficiency?” This post seeks to answer that question.

Software developers are interchangeable. A software developer with a computer science degree will produce the same quality of work as any other software developer with a computer science degree. It makes business sense to hire cheap programmers and put in place a standard process. If that sounds like something you would say or think, then your perception of software development is severely detrimental to the health of your business.

With two blog posts, we argue for more use of simple models beyond Amdahl’s Law. Part 1 previously discussed Bottleneck Analysis and Little’s Law, while this post (Part 2) presents the M/M/1 Queue.

This was something I was extremely concerned with early in my career. I’ve worked in a variety of situations: small companies to large companies, consumer products and B2B products, pure software companies and companies that sold physical things, new software to large mature systems.
