Share maps is ok, but collecte them also. This will helps you to identify duplication and bias. Do it again and again as duplication bias. It’s an iteration process.
Don’t try to map everything at the beginning.
On large organisation
To reduce bias collect map and do a profile diagram :
**Figure 32 — Profile (**point 1 and 2 : ‣, point 3 : ‣, point 4 : bias, point 5 : duplications)
One more way to find duplication is to determine what capabilities we need as a group. Create different map based on reality and then aggregate them to create a capability profile :
Figure 34 — Capability Profile
I am wondering if duplication can save energy and pollute less. Removing all duplication increase the global complexity because you need more and more interface to meet the user need. It induce an increase of the transportation flux, internet flux and communication. In fact duplicating increase the local complexity by allowing multiple time the same ressources. But duplication is different from deploying antenna.
Duplication is a ignorance from the CEO concerning two teams that are doing the same thing and tackling the same user needs.
Deploying antenna, tackle the local availability of the capacities we built in one place answering user the needs we all agreed on.
Human being is a system as group and as an individual. However, is it desirable to reduce duplication in the human system group.
One more though. Is allowing duplication as creative opposition (opposition créatrice) processus can in fact leading the company to a better understanding of the landscape. If two team are building the same product in the same company. It might be interesting to leave it as it is for sometime and get back to it to analyzed it performances, the differents answers….
