nice framing on innovation drifting out of sync - it uses improv as the metaphor for what happens when teams keep adapting locally but stop listening to each other, which feels very familiar in design work.

the image kind of feels like a team trying to improvise and missing each other by half a beat.

That “half a beat” thing is so real — it’s like a co-op game where everyone’s executing their own “clever” strat and nobody’s calling targets.
