ideal work flow and system to meet customer and client
needs.
Significant experimentation, rapid evaluation, authority to
make changes on-the-spot.
Analyze and design the “whole-system” – social, technical
and economic. It is all an integrated complex system and
cannot be disconnected.
Simplify the process – minimize steps, delays, interruptions
and opportunities for error.
Design the organizational system around the process, from
the bottom-up. Zero based organization design.
