title: Creativity: the key to breakthrough changes, how teaming can harness collective knowledge.
abstract: Our nation's industries do not want for concepts, philosophies or ideas to improve effectiveness. Just-in-Time, continuous improvement, re-engineering, world-class manufacturing, time compression, manufacturing excellence, total quality control, and theory of constraints are examples of approaches to improving our businesses. All have merit and are, to some degree, related.
