“Well, in our country,” said Alice, “you’d generally get to somewhere else – if you ran very fast for a long time.” “A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.”

-- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures Through the Looking Glass

MFA Simple Truths: Continuous Improvement and On-Going Development are the only ways to stay relevant.

“What you see depends on which window you are looking from.”

-- Dalai Lama

MFA Simple Truths: What you learn from the analysis depends on how you do it. Framing a problem well is half of the solution.

One wise man said: When I see a yellow leaf, I think something is wrong with it. When I see a tree with yellow leaves, I think something is wrong with the tree. But when I see the whole forest with yellow trees, I know it is fall!

MFA Simple Truths: When you get too close, you can't see the whole picture. You must focus on the whole problem to derive a comprehensive solution.

Seven blind men want to know what an elephant looks like. One man touches the tail and thinks it looks like a rope, another man touches the leg and thinks it looks like a tree and so on. Blind to all perspectives but their own, the men are incapable of imagining the whole animal.

MFA Simple Truths: A business must be managed as a whole. Optimizing each part in a silo leads to suboptimal solutions.

OUR TEAM
