The document discusses concepts from game theory and behavioral economics including equilibrium, Pareto efficiency, Nash equilibrium, and cognitive biases. It notes that organizations can fall into a "bad equilibrium" similar to the TV show "Breaking Bad" if the incentives are not properly structured. To achieve a "good equilibrium", the document recommends adopting DevOps practices like making work visible, managing work in progress, embracing failure, and cultivating psychological safety and blamelessness. It argues the "really hard" work involves rethinking agreements and increasing buffers and headcount to build a true "learning organization".

13. Is a state of allocation of resources in
which it is impossible to make any one
individual better off without making at
least one individual worse off.
Pareto Efficiency
14. A situation is inefficient if someone
can be made better off even after
compensating those made worse off.
Pareto Inefficiency
15.
16.
17. A concept of game theory where the
optimal outcome of a game is one
where no player has an incentive to
deviate from his chosen strategy after
considering an opponent's choice.
Nash Equilibrium
53. Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman
and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly
original studies undoing our assumptions about the
decision-making process. Their papers showed the
ways in which the human mind erred, systematically,
when forced to make judgments in uncertain situations.
Their work created the field of behavioral economics,
revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-
based medicine, led to a new approach to government
regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis’s own
work possible. Kahneman and Tversky are more
responsible than anybody for the powerful trend to
mistrust human intuition and defer to algorithms.
