So many seem to have been credited with the notion that the Devil (or is it God?) is in the detail – Goethe, Flaubert, Mies van der Rohe and Aby Warburg among them, not to mention Paul’s Letter to the Romans.
But is it really the detail that matters most?
I remember, at an international meeting of Synectics people in
Washington DC, my esteemed colleague Vincent Nolan enjoined us all to attend to
the detail. And immediately he was flatly contradicted by Sandy Dunlop.
“If anywhere,” said Sandy, “he is in the Big Picture.”
