About the Program

After almost a century languishing in the waste-bin of history, this presentation re-introduces President Theodore Roosevelt's issue of "national efficiency".  Within this general framework, Mr. Lefcowitz suggests that a new approach to process improvement is needed.  

As a first step, he suggests an alteration to the Business Process Model (BPM), based upon what is known about human behavior, rather than the current mechanical approach.
