Workflows are hard to change because there's an intra and inter network effect.

  • Workflows are hard to change because there's an intra and inter network effect.
    • Inter: You need to coordinate with others.
      • If you change the workflow but others participate in it and don't change, then you can't change it.
    • Intra: each step is dependent on the others and possibly needs to change.
      • Changes to a workflow that don't change the shape of inputs and outputs are a limited subset of the changes you can make.
