Parts Performance Paradox

"The performance of a system doesn’t depend on how the parts perform taken separately, it depends on how they perform together – how they interact, not on how they act, taken separately.

Therefore, when you improve the performance of a part of a system taken separately, you can destroy the system”, suggests Russell Ackoff.
