Prussian Generals - part 4, Take a Step Back

Do you recognize :
1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
2. Working software over comprehensive documentation
3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
4. Responding to change over following a plan

Here's the complete text

How does the Prussian army hold up against these ideals?

1. While the Prussians instituted processes and used the best tools available, they clearly favored individual decisions and collaboration. The deliberate fostering of informal social networks, and emphasis on responsibility and empowerment of individual officers is dead on.
2. Software was pretty uncommon at the time, but if we broaden software to include process and its documentation, I think it's fair to say that Prussia loved comprehensive documentation, but "No battle plan survives contact 
with the enemy". If process was broken, fix it on the spot.
3. I haven't touched on it, but Moltke collaborated with the political side, with good relations with Bismarck and the king, to ensure that the customer, Prussia, got the most from the army.
4. Moltkes war plans all fail, but the wars are won. Commanders on all levels reacts to and handles setbacks but, perhaps more importantly, grasp opportunities when they arise.

So, in my book the late 19th century army is the poster child of agile.
