Complex systems work best when processes are designed with fewer steps and fewer people. Small reductions in the number of variables and rules in a complex system can have a dramatic and non linear impact in reducing its complexity. Keep processes short and simple to reduce the chance for things to go wrong. Less degradation of information occurs, because there are fewer 'hand-offs' of information from one person to another. Fewer steps means less feedback loops need to be created in order to ensure that errors or faults in the process are detected and corrected. To reduce bureaucratic quagmire give people the power to break down walls and simplify processes.
