Dear Anders,

 

Well I’m not going to say it is a hard and fast rule, but establishing identity is pretty much the first thing I would attempt to do when analysing any situation. Mostly because it is (in my experience) the most efficient way to proceed.

 

In the sort of cases you are talking about here, I would want to know whether the different perspectives were indeed different, or not, and what it was they were different perspectives of.

 

Regards

Dear Matthew,

 

Ah, i was referring to the smale scale temporal ordering in the sentence "first identify what is the same/different, then apply the above.".

 

Identity  is important but why is there a temporal ordering between the two? could you elaborate on the rationale?

Dear Anders,

 

Sorry, I’m not aware I was talking about any temporal ordering. Please explain.

I wonder do we really need this? If we examine the situation a little closer then reasons for variability appears.

A few examples: 

  Legislation forces different point of views across border and inside countries.

 

MW: This means of course that you really mean different things in those different circumstances, so they should not be the same.

 

  Product: there a quite a few work perspective that view Product differently from different point-of-view and so it is likely to be. The need for specialization of work perspectives seems to be inevitable in larger organizations.

 ... more than 10+ major reasons for large scale variability can easily be found.

 

MW: Yes. In my book “Developing High Quality Data Models” I identify a number of these. But that just means that these are different things, not the same.

 

MW: Moral, first identify what is the same/different, then apply the above.

 

 

AWT:  Im intrigued, identity is important but why is there a temporal ordering between the two? could you elaborate on the raionale?
