Nature loves variation.

Small errors, mishaps  and mistakes make a species stronger, not weaker.  They make the system antifragile.

Fine china does not love variation.  Even the smallest of mishaps can cause irrecoverable damage.

If you want a business that lasts, its better to design it to be more of a system than a dinner service.   But that doesn’t mean formless.

Build a strong core of values, purpose and ethos, embodied in simple high-level processes that describe ‘what’ not ‘how’, and you too can get to love variation.

And variation is what leads to evolution.
