In a complex situation, there are no maps. By definition, a complex situation precludes the possibility of a fixed/defined path. Sitting in the middle of a path if you are lost in a jungle won’t take you anywhere. It’s only by taking an action, then analysing the feedback and iterating multiple times can we reach the destination.
