CORE DEFINITION

In a fluid, the faster the flow, the lower the pressure.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

It metaphorically represents the counterintuitive relationship between speed and pressure. In organizational management, when a department or business process flows extremely fast, its internal "pressure" (supervision intensity, reflective capacity) tends to decrease, making it prone to inward collapse (such as sucking in external dust or risks). When advancing rapidly, be especially vigilant about the structural fragility of low-pressure zones.

Anchor fast decisions

Fluid continuity and conservation of energy lead to lower pressure at higher flow speeds. Organizational metaphor: In high-speed departments, internal "pressure" (supervision intensity, reflective capacity) decreases, creating low-pressure zones prone to inward collapse, sucking in external dust and risks.
