Summary

There's a temptation in business to equate complexity with sophistication. The more layers a system has, the more thorough it must be. The more steps in the process, the more professional it looks. The bigger the spreadsheet, the more serious the operation. But complexity isn't a sign of maturity. More often, it's a sign that nobody did the harder work of making things simple.
