#LeanThinking

In my STEM studies, the content is typically objective, factual, mechanical, and devoid of humanity.

More recently, first through #leanthinking, and then into #agile, #systemsthinking, #industrialengineering, I've come to realize that engineering with humanity creates progress for everyone, for the long term.

Thinkers like Galbraith, Follett, and Matthews show us a fair path, showing the bigger picture and putting humanity over profits.

IMHO, @debcha belongs in that same pantheon.

Every roll of Green Aware compostable bags I’ve ever bought is deeply frustrating to open. Refuse to believe they are not ‘aware’ (both puns deliberate).

I hate products that make it so hard to remove the packaging that you actually damage the contents. I suppose there can be a strong commercial disincentive to fixing a user problem that generates more sales.
