I use this exact same metaphor!

Let me use an analogy for the thinking approach. Imagine you are trying to map a dark basement. You could use a flashlight and walk through it. Or you switch on the top light and look from an elevated position. Using a flashlight will give you more detail for one specific route, but you might miss the bigger picture. Likewise, the toplight provides you with an overview to understand the organization. Initially, you might miss some details. But it is easier to detail a system than change it.

I use this exact same metaphor! OOUX is my floodlight, after years of working with a flickering, finicky flashlight and never getting the whole picture. Love that we came to the same metaphor!
