I am curious as to what your thoughts are regarding Ferrari, people are calling for Vasseur to be sacked but I don't think he is the root cause of the problem here, if he were to get replaced I think the team would operate largely the same. Even if we did hire Newey I don't think we would make much progress.
I think it is a cultural problem.
Warning! Long post alert!
"The difference between a good administrator and a bad administrator is about five heartbeats. Good administrators make immediate decisions… They usually can be made to work".
- “God Emperor of Dune” by Frank Herbert
For me, this is an information flow problem.
Information keeps getting stuck in the system. Not just in race tactics/strategy (the most visible demonstration) but also with some disconnects between what Frederic Vasseur says and what others in the team say. The upgrade sequence also indicates a communication disconnect. From there', I extrapolate that much of the team is affected by the problem.
The drivers communicate just fine between themselves, their radio engineers and the press, indicating that at least part of the team can communicate. Sometimes they have friction, but none of them can be accused of taking five heartbeats to make decisions that are supposed to be within their power. From these high-profile good examples (and also good examples that almost certainly exist with lower profile within the factory), an information specialist could encourage everyone else to communicate more speedily and concisely.
Adrian Newey has expertise in sorting out this sort of thing in a design context. Recruiting him would not have been a waste of money. However, this trouble can be solved in a much cheaper way. That would be to hire or recruit an information specialist.
Williams was the first team to do this, back in 2003. A former RAF pilot was hired to provide a consistent communication system between race engineers and drivers (yes, I know that's the one bit Ferrari already has, but bear with me). This focused on making sure everyone understood what a communication meant, so that people could get messages across and spend less time debating.
Other teams followed suit.
However, Ferrari needs a different aspect of the specialist’s skillset: how to make decisions based on partial information.
To avoid going into a really long essay, there are multiple elements to this:
- knowing what information is already available and where it is
- knowing what information is likely to be needed in advance
- making decisions in advance on items that don't need to be made "in the moment" (to free up bandwidth for decisions that do need to be made that way, and to have instant answers where possible)
- clearing noise and blocks in the system
- knowing when to make changes
- having a system that can make changes quickly
I'm not sure where the issue is out of those items. However, there are tools that can help, and an information specialist could help with this.
If I got sent in to sort out Ferrari's communication, I develop a process map. It would have, in addition to the usual features, big red frowny faces on all the delays. Big. Red. Frowny. Faces.
Then, discuss with everyone involved how the system needs to be modified to have fewer steps, front-load more decision-making (to happen before the answer is needed when possible),
Some encouragement of the new better practices will be needed, and this is where the fact the drivers and race engineers already don't take five heartbeats to do things is a great help. Their highly visible example will show the rest of the team a living set of examples of what to do. I would "recruit" two champions per process (the same person can be a champion for multiple processes if a participant in several flows - the race engineers will be key allies here, but so will some people in the factory).
Communication after this would not be perfect, but it would be much less mired in unnecessary delays and stuck information. I think this would fix the core of the problem at Ferrari - without dismissing a single person.
If Ferrari does not wish to hire me, that's fine - there are literally thousands of people qualified to understand information flows, many of whom also know how to process map. Find one with an understanding of large organisations with a large public surface, and Ferrari could be "fixed" in three months with the press, audience and other teams none the wiser as to why.
Oh, and that process could have already begun.
Dark Shadows fans like to make jokes about the inefficiency of law enforcement in the fictional town of Collinsport, but in this episode we see that the sheriff and his men really never had a chance. The ancient and esteemed Collins family controls everything in the area, and they will go to any lengths to keep the police from obtaining the information they need to do their job…
observations and reflections on a small model of the RGB structure
These past few weeks, I've been loosely testing a small model of my RGB structure that I outlined in [[erosion of structure]]. To reiterate, that hypothetical structure uses three R, G, and B axes with 255 "values" per axis for a total of 16.5+ million complex coordinates (e.g. 2-132-7). Since I wanted something that I could check at a glance without getting lost, I downscaled to two axes and four values for a total of 16 complex coordinates. You can check out the spreadsheet here. I also opened another sheet to host more derivative ideas from the cross-pollination.
The first thing I noticed when filling in the grid was how hard it was. Some categories were easier to cross-pollinate than others, but I still needed to invest some thinking to synthesize them well. This difficulty also extended into the "Matrixed" sheet, where I budded off certain key points in each cross-pollinated square into a dedicated slot at that same coordinate. For instance, the biggest thing I could think of between "future studies" (3) and "taking breaks" (C) is that the study of the future must account for "slow days" and natural gaps in significant activity (C3). And then the derivative idea: We make history daily, but not all of that is relevant or important.
The second thing I noticed was how interesting the second Matrixed sheet was. It's satisfying to see my ideas precipitate so clearly. I had a felt sense that these were "right", because these were implicit assumptions in my thinking, but I rarely encountered them or followed up with these specific axioms. Now that these ideas were so clear, I could write about them easily, and I did--I wrote two threads about how mental contexts are organic frames, and how radical meaning-making is not enough.
In theory, this structure should also be able to accommodate the reverse process where high-fidelity, specific ideas can be differentiated or decomposed into n axis values and placed at that coordinate. For instance, the idea that "most people don't have a complete insight-through-making cycle" could be split into the values of "essence of problem-solving" and "human factors". Therefore, it will be stored at D1.
However, D1 is already filled by "Radical meaning-making is not enough". This was completely unexpected because I thought that concept multiplication and concept division were inverses/reverses. No matter how many times you combine or split a piece of information, the products will be the same.
This paints an odd picture of my intelligence, and perhaps human intelligence in general: How is it that combining more than 2 or 3 ideas is so hard, but decomposing an idea becomes much easier with the more topics available to classify into?
I don't think my synthesis is "too biased" or "too personal" because that's inherent to the process. I also don't think the division is necessarily "too low-res". The classifying topics are values on the axes and are a deliberate constraint. I'm more willing to accept for the time being that, until we have a "cognitive proof" that concept multiplication and concept division are actually inverses, we may have to treat them like separate though somewhat related processes. To the RGB structure, this means having 1 spreadsheet for synthetic generation and 1 for analytic placement. Or, if we had to really keep everything in one RGB structure, we'd need to either add more values on each axis, add a completely new axis with it's own set of values, or make do with the emerging "superposition" of each coordinate value.
