Simplifying Complex Business Practices

Today, I came across this article called Simplicity Can Untangle Complex Business Issues.

It was written by Mark Gottfredson, who is a partner at the consulting firm Bain & Co, and is the co-author of "The Breakthrough Imperative: How the Best Managers Get Outstanding Results".

Gottfredson makes the same observation that I have seen in the corporate world - that the natural flow is for things to become more complex over time. Simplicity is something that managers must actively work on.
