[1]On the Law of Diminishing Specialization:

    Deploying a technique called work value analysis, Sassone measured
    not only the amount of work conducted by his subjects, but also the
    skill level required for the work. He found that managers and other
    skilled professionals were spending surprisingly large percentages
    of their time working on tasks that could be completed by comparably
    lower-level employees.

    …

    An important lesson lurks in these results that's just as relevant
    now as it was then, back in the early days of the front office IT
    revolution: optimizing people's ability to create value using their
    brains is complicated. Just because a given technology makes things
    easier doesn't mean that it makes an organization more effective,
    you have to keep returning to the foundational question of what best
    supports the challenge of thinking hard about valuable things.
