My household, overrun by the grandkids, is more agile/lean than your team. And that's mainly due to my wonderful wife. I observe:
- Frequent check-ins: "How are you doing? Is there anything I can do to make your life easier?"
- Frequent evaluation: "Is this working? How can it be better?"

Insight, Intuition, Inspiration
It's the time of year when folks pause and reflect, thinking about the year gone by and the year to come. I've been thinking a lot about books and the Bookshelf. It's no secret that book sales are down across the board, and we're feeling the pain. So I've been wondering: do we still need books?
