“The cumulative outputs from a group of highly skilled, disciplined professionals all studying the same problem, and routinely sharing their findings. Each new independent finding becomes a common input into everyone else’s process. The Tansley Effect is an endless positive feedback loop.

Explanation:
This is a phrase I first read in appendix B on the original Dune book, some 20 years ago, and I’ve never had a chance to use it in real life, but I’ve just done so. And I’m so happy about it!!, So I’m actually just sharing. It’s the world’s coolest sounding phrase. And it applies to when you’ve got to be absolutely perfect in a corporate environment.
Enjoy
Wow, This was a pleasant and unexpected note to wake me this morning. Thanks for pushing the Tansley Effect into corporate consciousness. Up the endless factorial processing!
