Intelligence In The Walls
Intelligence flows from the edges, not the top. The people closest to the work know things leadership never will.
Which means your organization already has the answers. If you build the flow.
But the smartest organizations embed it in their walls.
Look at Toyota's two-bin system. It manages inventory automatically, no managers needed.
Or Google's testing frameworks that catch errors before humans do.
Or hospital checklists that consistently outperform individual judgment.
The best companies don't concentrate intelligence at the top. They distribute it throughout their environment.
It's in their tools. Their systems. Their everyday practices.
This changes everything about how we improve performance.
The secret isn't hiring smarter talent. It's building smarter environments.
This is why The Title Trap matters - titles shouldn't close conversations.
Smart people in dumb systems get dumb results. The Momentum Engine shows how to flip the equation.
