Exactly! It's not that we don't have the knowledge at hand somewhere in the world (and frequently here in the US), but knowing and doing are entirely different things. Clearly those that don't know a technique, methodology or the mere existence of a toolkit, let alone have some experience or training with them, they are not likely to USE any of the best, proven techniques that the world has brought forth And let's stop overcomplicating our solutions - which I've done myself in the past when designing systems... more features, more features! No, no, no... less features, more work done, more problems solved, more goals accomplished. Waste is everywhere, let's stop doing all of the things that are not adding to our business, and get back to business - the REAL business that we're built for, not the grunt work or busy work that keeps us from creating the next great transportation method, or the next health-changing innovation, or whatever it is that YOUR business or organization does. Indeed, it's time to get to work! Dot – thanks very much for this response. Exactly!

People from around the world come to U.S. universities to learn the best practices that we've defined, and then they go back home and apply them - proving how well they work by their success. Information on all of these topics is readily available, but we've got to learn, cooperate, innovate and act. Most American companies CAN compete on both quality and price, but up until now they just haven't felt obligated.
