BLINDLY doing more does not guarantee more value for an organisation, and failure to define the value of a product or service from the stakeholder's perspective could result in unproductive processes.

Cutting staff or resources without considering how it impacts value creation are often the ways of a management that is myopic. Wisdom calls for knowing what wastes to remove from a business process, while ensuring that value-generating portions of the business will not affected.
