Interesting read, and very weird. my first associations when reading was to Lawfulness—in the GlowFic-Golarion meaning. and for me, this is the essence of responsibility, exactly the opposite of the claim of the post.
the people who responsible to the outcomes look on all possible situations, and choose their own trade-offs. they look on the cost of the trade off, and say they are willing to pay that cost, because the alternative is worst.
what is the opposite of that? culture in which acknowledging cost of policy is political suicide, when all political debates must appear one-sided, when person that say that they willing to pay price x to achieve outcome y is heartless and cruel.
blameless postmortems (or retrospectives, like we do at work after every sprint in agile programming) are part of the process, are the place where we should look on the trade offs and chose them. it doesn’t always happen, but mostly, from my point of view, it’s lack if processes, not excessive amount of processes, that is the problem.
I think the main part here is, i see process as ultimate form of responsibility. the people who choose it bear it. and you… don’t? for some reason?
practically, power buy distance from crime, and people who want to avoid accountability can use the distance for that aim. but i find the whole idea that process absolve from responsibility, instead of transfer and concentrate it in the hands of people who design the process, very weird.
