Three issues thus far John Farley.
1. The statement I quoted is false, so I stand by my criticism. It can be considered an opinion, so call it a disagreement. The author appears to want to discuss Design/Build, but even if that is the case, his commentary is incorrect.
2. He discusses "Organizational boundaries" when I am virtually certain what he means are "Interdisciplinary Theories". Again, he is entitled to an opinion, as I am. I can even see the source of his emphasis, he is in Business, and organization would be his emphasis.
3. He dismisses Integrative efforts if a design is "In House", which is contradictory, by definition. His claim that postponing Integration creates freedom for designers, may well be true, I can see its logic, but design was done and over prior to modularization, so unless he believes in time travel, his article
lays Boeing wide open for criticism, if not criminal prosecution.
I am definitely coming at his writing from a lateral perspective, and may be utterly wrong myself; if so, I will be the first to admit it, and should be.....
