Felonious Planning and the Law of Parsimony

Albert Einstein (no slouch in the understanding department) once said, “You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.”

The Law of Parsimony is closely related to Ockham’s Razor, a problem-solving principle developed by William of Ockham in the 1300’s.  William Ockham was a Franciscan Monk (but definitely not a felonious monk).  He devised this scheme of thought to determine the best argument in favor of a philosophical theory; the theory with the least assumptions was the best one.

As modern day planners and risk consultants, we would do well to heed the advice of this deep thinker from long ago.
