Yes, and this is the natural next question. The structure enables high velocity — but actually running at that higher velocity will undoubtedly put new strains on steering and decision making.
The world has been gradually becoming more volatile (VUCA) over the last century, and humans have adapted by becoming more "agile," which essentially means:
1. Making decisions with less and less information, and rapidly adjusting from the impact of the decision (feedback loops).
2. Empowering decision makers closer to the customer (lower layer).
In a world that shifts even faster, this pattern will need to continue at an increased rate. There will be a lot more signal, powering tighter feedback loops — more decisions made with less upfront knowledge, shorter cycles between action and correction. And with proper steering and constraints, more decisions can be left to the agents.
With this approach, I'm not concerned by the limits of human capacity to make frequent decisions — even if it might be straining. We can adjust the risk profile of what we need to know to make a decision, and we can delegate to agents the "lower decisions" to free up our capacity — essentially taking more risk, to stay within capacity.
I couldn’t agree more. And I can’t free my mind from thinking that the speed augumented compute works at will put som strain on the entity that (
(following your reasoning) will be continously re-assessing the purpose of work ie steering the outcome?
