"One of the most powerful inventions of our time isn't a thing, or a product. It's a process---that of managing very large scale enterprises that integrate many technologies...
...But success in all these areas depends on a familiar idea at the heart of the large-scale integration process---an idea as powerful as sophisticated equipment or technical process. It's people, working together."

P. Smith, Boeing
