The High-Velocity Edge: Part Four

Part four of a ten-part series on the 2009 book The High-Velocity
Edge by Steven Spear. This episode introduces the two pillars of
the first capability: design systems to reveal problems. The
first pillar is Taiichi Ohno's "kanban", or pull-based,
philosophy on system design. The second pillar is Sakichi
Toyoda's "jidoka", or self-regulation, philosophy to identify
problems when they happen.
