Etsy's Winning Secret: Don't Play The Blame Game! - Business Insider
3 TIPS FROM ETSY ON ADOPTING A BLAMELESS CULTURE:
Assume good will.  "Employees are making decisions based on what they think is right for the company," said Allspaw.
Identify causes, not culprits. Accountability happens naturally as people learn the facts. Focus on exploring what happened—and recognize that in complex systems, there's rarely one root cause.
Take your time. People used to blaming cultures may take time to come out of their shell and share mistakes and learnings freely.

Hacker News | Why Do Enterprise Applications Suck?
"Enterprise Applications are built by committee. The committee's job is to put as many bullet points on paper as possible. The more bullet points they've put on paper, the more successful the committee was. The more complicated and long the documentation is, the
more work the committee had to do and the more its people should be paid for being able to envision and document a system that is so complicated - without regard for whether that system had to be complicated or not."
