Bringing Kaizen to the Contract Process

I noted with interest this article in the New Yorker by James Surowiecki. It’s about how a focus on incremental gains, in sports and elsewhere, has led to a “performance revolution.”

It then notes that not only in sports, but also in business, “organizations, in a systematic way, set about making employees more effective and productive.”
