To counteract rigidification by standardization, we need: (1) employees' self-generating experimentation without punishment for failures; (2) letting "the nail which sticks out" grow instead of hammering it down; (3) examining crazy ideas seriously; (4) cultivation of craftsmen's pride instead of filling the requirements like robots; (5) spontaneous change-generating quick interaction among heterogeneous employees (morphogenetic process); (6) barrier-free outbreeding to and from outsiders; (7) elimination of ponderous and rigid procedurism and overcontrol; (8) elimination of inbreeding; (9) mastering the masterpieces before moving ahead.

Abstract


To counteract rigidification by standardization, we need: (1) employees' self-generating experimentation without punishment for failures; (2) letting "the nail which sticks out" grow instead of hammering it down; (3) examining crazy ideas seriously; (4) cultivation of craftsmen's pride instead of filling the requirements like robots; (5) spontaneous change-generating quick interaction among heterogeneous employees (morphogenetic process); (6) barrier-free outbreeding to and from outsiders; (7) elimination of ponderous and rigid procedurism and overcontrol; (8) elimination of inbreeding; (9) mastering the masterpieces before moving ahead.
