However, if the money drain has been there for a while, you are likely to continue ignoring it. As time is money, meetings are one of those drains. Research shows […]
A 2D Worm in a 4D World
If you bounce a ball in front of a worm navigating a flat surface, the worm will see a horizontal line growing in both directions momentarily – and then disappearing, without any explanation that the worm would find plausible.

“Lean” is to Businesses as “Weight Watchers” is to Individuals
Ever noticed that Lean is very similar to Weight Watchers? Both promise the moon, have a cult-like following – and both fail to deliver sustainable results in most cases.

If you are an SME and want to be a BSE (Big and Strong), you may wonder what could be your areas for improvement.
