We applied a known approximation of the upper bound of KC to calculate a proxy of Num Suh’s ‘Information Content’ measure and compared the bad and the good designs by calculating the (approximate) complexity/information content of the design matrix. We therefore demonstrated in two hypothetical examples how one can reduce the complexity of designing GSD planning and development projects as ‘designing’ and ‘designed’ systems respectively. By satisfying all three axioms the GSD management office M should attempt to make the life cycle activities of GSD planning and development projects as independent, controlled and uncoupled as possible so that the designer can predict the future states of these projects and avoid a potentially chaotic behaviour.
