Optimizing The Whole

OK so this is my little two sense of what I got from this optimizing business. Let’s use a sports analogy shall we. Say I was trying to make a football team and I have 10 million dollars to buy players on to this team. So I have to first look at the team as parts of the whole. Ok so let’s see, a football team has an offence, defense, and special teams. All are vitally important to the success of the team. I can’t rationalize and say, “Well because the offence is the one who puts points on the board I will spend most of my money on them.” That would be called optimizing a part. When that happens you know in a game when the defense is on the field we will be demolished every time. So we have to look at all the parts as important and divvy the funds to the parts almost equally. If we don’t nearly equalize the funds then all is lost and so is the game. I say this as perhaps from the organizational group and we need to not only focus on our own parts but realize the importance of the other parts and collaborate to discuss to maximize the potential of each group. So let us all hold hands and think of the greater good.
