In response to JC Wandemberg's question, "what is the design
principle...?"
1. if design refers to the rationale for selection and organisation of
critical elements, then the five disciplines outlined by Senge are design
principles.
2. if design means the structure of the end result, then any response will
be ipsitive. ie. substantiating the existence of a principle through the
act of interpretation, ie.
form fits function - the learning organisation is adaptive, noting that an
organisational "form" or structure is (always) embedded in the flow of
information, in a learning organisation the information channels are
adaptable, which facilitate the re-formation necessary to adapt to
emergent functional requirements. It thus represents actualisation of
design-as-ideology.
less is more - (I'll leave this to someone else)
