This story is the sixth part of the series of Chapter 2: Journey From Novice To Expert.
The Summary
One of the most important lessons from the Dreyfus model is the realization that although the novice needs context-free rules, the expert uses context-dependent intuition.
Context matters
The high-priced consultant’s favorite answer is “It depends”. Their analysis depends on a great many things. There is an inherent danger in decontextualized objectivity, that is, in trying to be objective about something after taking it out of its context.
In system thinking, as in object-oriented-programming, it’s often the relationships between things that are interesting, not the things themselves. These relationships help form the context that makes all the difference.
