so range can be a team thing?
very much
one person does not need to contain every lens like a cursed swiss army knife
thank god
teams can carry range by mixing training backgrounds, work histories, and problem styles
is this just “diversity is good” with a book hat
it can become that if you keep it vague
the sharper claim is: different training makes teams better at reframing wicked problems
reframing meaning “we named the problem wrong”
yes
a legal person, engineer, designer, operator, and scientist may each see a different failure mode
sounds slow
it is slower at first
but fast consensus is not a virtue if everyone is confidently wrong in the same dialect
😮same dialect is good
that is the team version of entrenchment
everyone shares the same training, so the blind spot feels like common sense
so generalists are translators?
often
they can move between languages and notice when two fields have already solved neighboring problems
what is the danger though
mixed teams can become chaos soup
range helps only if people translate claims into testable pieces
not just “my discipline says vibes”
exactly
each lens has to show what it predicts, what it misses, and what evidence would update it
how do you run a meeting like that?
start with silent problem definitions
everyone writes what they think the real problem is before discussion
so the loudest frame does not win instantly
yep
then compare frames, pick the disagreements that matter, and design one test per frame
feels very fox brain
team of foxes, plus a few deep specialists who know where the cliffs are
nice balance
Range is not saying “hire only dabblers”
it is saying wicked problems need breadth somewhere in the system
takeaway
build teams with translation capacity, not just resumes from the same factory
same factory. rude
rude but procurement-friendly. bye
