Conjecture
A best practice is a bet that the world will hold still. Part I rests this on two principles inside Taylorism: a predictable, static environment, and the ability to understand it well enough for a planner to know what a worker should do. Grant's line, which Part I adopts: organisational learning should be an ongoing activity, but best practices imply it has reached an endpoint, so look for better practices instead. The conclusion is not that efficiency is wrong. It is an excellent strategy for normal times and a bad one at inflection points, which are by definition periods of heightened change and uncertainty.
