An acronym for (enterprise) effectiveness
What’s a quick way to keep reminding ourselves about effectiveness in the enterprise, and that tagline of “things work better when they work together, on-purpose”? My suggestion for this is the somewhat-contrived acronym LEARN: eLegant – clarity, simplicity, consistency, ‘feel’, self-adapting…
