What is lost in the race to efficiency.

Making only one cog in your machine more efficient will put unexpected pressure on the rest of the organisation.

Unattended, other parts of the organisation will suddenly wear out and break. People will burn out and the end product will be worse than before.

Real efficiency is not about going faster. It’s about going together.

Three interconnected cogs. The first cog is indicated to be moving fast. The two following cogs are starting to break apart.

Above the three cogs is the text:
