Innaterules

The “rule of rule” is about progress. It’s important to define a good set of rules that can be applied holistically to lead business transformation systematically.

As society expands, it becomes more complex. Hence, the struggle for survival becomes more intense. Interdisciplinary lenses expand thinking boxes, provide a new angle to see the familiar landscape in different ways. 

It’s not easy to define the "perfect rules" that can be applied holistically to drive business transformation systematically. The right rules should encourage authenticity, inclusiveness, good attitude or actions, but discourage outdated mindset or behaviors.

A business rule is simply a rule that is under business jurisdiction, so businesses can enact, revise, and discontinue their business rules as they see fit: There are good rules and bad rules, visible rules and hidden rules, local rules or global rules. The matter of fact is that setting digital rules is not to manipulate (HOW), but to make the right policy, build the quality standard, and shape a quality organization.

Rules are needed in environments where there is not enough consensus on common values. Some common rules or laws we have to follow to be good employees in the organization; a legal citizen in the nation or a decent resident on the earth. Other rules are more situational and changeable for encouraging desired mindsets and behaviors.

A good rule is to ensure that efforts are focused in the right direction, not for limiting your imagination, but to identify opportunities and mitigate risks: There is the time to break down the outdated rules, there is the time to bend the rules, and there is the time to set new rules. On one side, rules and structures provide the “controlling” shell within which innovation teams can communicate and collaborate freely to create transparency.

On the other hand, overly rigid rules, too “pushy goals,” “over-control” or micromanagement stifles innovation. There are no rules for how you generate those benefits, but to begin the disruption, history would suggest that they must be offered, and therefore a good rule is to ensure that innovation efforts are focused in that direction.

One rule is breaking the rules that bind you:
When circumstances change, the new “rules” get updated to reflect the new age, adapt to the new speed, and fit for the new perspectives. Some rules don't make sense, stop people from making progress, so that's the point where you must examine your own intentions - break the rules, follow the rules, ignore the rules.

It means that the business can enact, revise, and discontinue their business rules as they see fit. Rules need to be updated continually because often the outdated rules become the roadblocks to stifle innovation and progress. Rule-breaking or rule-making demands insight, understanding, patience, persistence, and courage, among other things.
 
Rules are often domain specific and time relevant, so perhaps there’s no rule which can “rule” the world all the time. And rules need to be updated continually. The “rule of rule” is about progress. It’s important to define a good set of rules that can be applied holistically to lead business transformation systematically.
