    Create Trust at Machine Speed
    Jeff Sutherland

    Fifty RF‑101 Voodoos arrived in Vietnam. Forty‑seven were shot down in a year.

  12. David leaned forward, intrigued. "An inventor of better systems? You always say stuff like that Alex! What do you mean?""I have a theory. The reason most organisations fall back," Alex explained, "is because they fall into the trap of believing that they have 'arrived'. They find a process that works, a method they like, a 'way of working', and then they try to preserve it, to freeze it in time. They codify it, they build policies around it, and they turn it into a dogma. This approach may have worked in the past but in today’s fact paced world, a process which can’t be continuously improved, soon becomes an obstacle.”
