Follow a Change beyond Its First Effect

An original exercise in looking past a local improvement.

Thinking · Book-inspired companion

Imagine moving a shared team's current files to a new folder. It may make your own search easier. Who else now has to change a bookmark, update a link, or learn the naming rule?

Draw those connections before treating the move as complete. Ask one affected person what the change would require of them. You do not need a comprehensive model to notice that a tidy improvement in one place can create work elsewhere.

Take a moment
