The Architecture of Simplicity
Abstract
This article argues that over time the world views, goals, strategies, cultures, and processes of successful organizations will become more pure or “simple”: They will come to focus more narrowly on a single theme, activity, or issue at the expense of all others. This is explained by managerial, cultural, structural, and process factors within the organization. It is also attributed to both the complementary way in which these factors configure and the paradox that although simplicity may trigger ultimate failure, it can bring about Initial success. The article offers some illustrative propositions concerning the nature, causes, moderating factors, and consequences of simplicity, and it makes suggestions for conducting further research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
