And while this was usually something our mothers have told us when we were getting picked on at school it also seems to be true of process projects.

In this Process Perspectives podcast, Andrew Spanyi, author and consultant in process improvement, talks about the potential pitfalls of doing process improvement on a large scale and what you can do to avoid them.
