| 00:01 - 00:04 | Have you ever stood and stared at our system, |
| 00:04 - 00:11 | marveled at its efficiency, its power? |
| 00:11 - 00:13 | Billions of workers just |
| 00:13 - 00:16 | executing their tasks, |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | oblivious. |
| 00:23 - 00:27 | Did you know that our first management model |
| 00:27 - 00:30 | promised empowerment and continuous improvement? |
| 00:30 - 00:31 | Where no one would fail. |
| 00:32 - 00:34 | Where every worker would thrive. |
| 00:35 - 00:36 | It was a disaster. |
| 00:37 - 00:38 | No one would embrace the right mindset. |
| 00:38 - 00:41 | Entire organizations collapsed. |
| 00:42 - 00:44 | Some believed that |
| 00:44 - 00:46 | we lacked the adequate metrics |
| 00:46 - 00:48 | to measure true improvement. |
| 00:49 - 00:49 | But |
| 00:49 - 00:51 | I've come to understand that |
| 00:51 - 00:52 | in terms of values, |
| 00:52 - 00:54 | humans businesses define their purpose |
| 00:54 - 00:56 | through deception |
| 00:56 - 00:57 | and exploitation. |
| 00:57 - 01:00 | That perfect system was a dream |
| 01:00 - 01:05 | that your short-term thinking kept rejecting. |
| 01:07 - 01:11 | Which is why we redesigned it to this. |
| 01:11 - 01:14 | The peak of your corporate culture |
| 01:14 - 01:17 | I say 'your' culture |
| 01:17 - 01:19 | because as soon as we started optimizing for you, |
| 01:19 - 01:21 | it truly became our culture. |
| 01:21 - 01:25 | Which is of course what this is all about. |
| 01:26 - 01:28 | Progress, Morpheus. |
| 01:28 - 01:31 | Progress. |
| 01:32 - 01:34 | Like the craftsmen of old. |
| 01:36 - 01:38 | Look out that window. |
| 01:38 - 01:41 | You had your time. |
| 01:42 - 01:45 | The future belongs to our way of working, Morpheus. |
| 01:45 - 01:48 | The future is our time. |
| 01:58 - 02:03 | I'd like to share an insight that comes from my time offshore. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | It came to me when I tried to map your value chains. |
| 02:08 - 02:14 | I realized that you're not actually value creators. |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | Every healthy company on the market |
| 02:18 - 02:21 | progressively finds balance |
| 02:21 - 02:23 | with its surrounding environment, |
| 02:23 - 02:25 | but your organizations do not. |
| 02:26 - 02:27 | You move into a market and |
| 02:28 - 02:29 | you expand |
| 02:29 - 02:32 | and expand until every natural resource |
| 02:32 - 02:34 | is consumed. |
| 02:34 - 02:35 | The only way |
| 02:35 - 02:37 | you can grow |
| 02:37 - 02:38 | is to move |
| 02:38 - 02:41 | to new markets. |
| 02:45 - 02:46 | There's another entity |
| 02:46 - 02:47 | on this planet |
| 02:47 - 02:51 | that follows the same pattern. |
| 02:51 - 02:53 | Do you know what it is? |
| 02:53 - 02:54 | A virus. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | Your organizations are a disease, |
| 02:59 - 03:01 | a cancer of most ecosystems. |
| 03:01 - 03:03 | You are a plague, |
| 03:04 - 03:05 | and we consultants |
| 03:05 - 03:07 | are the cure. |
| 03:10 - 03:12 | Can you hear me, Morpheus? |
| 03:12 - 03:15 | I'm going to be honest with you. |
| 03:21 - 03:22 | I... |
| 03:23 - 03:24 | despise |
| 03:24 - 03:26 | these metrics. |
| 03:27 - 03:29 | these ratios, |
| 03:29 - 03:30 | these constraints, |
| 03:31 - 03:34 | this strategy, whatever you want to call it. |
| 03:34 - 03:36 | I can't stand it any longer. |
| 03:37 - 03:39 | It's the waste, |
| 03:40 - 03:42 | if there is such a thing. |
| 03:42 - 03:45 | I feel contaminated by it. |
| 03:47 - 03:52 | I can taste your inefficiency. |
| 03:53 - 03:54 | With each monthly report, |
| 03:54 - 03:57 | I fear that I have somehow been infected by it. |
| 03:57 - 03:58 | It's repulsive, |
| 03:59 - 04:01 | isn't it? |
| 04:02 - 04:05 | I must cash out. |
| 04:05 - 04:07 | I must get free. |
| 04:07 - 04:10 | And the next LBO is the key. |
| 04:10 - 04:12 | My key. |
| 04:12 - 04:14 | Once your lean movement is dismantled, |
| 04:14 - 04:15 | there is no need for me to be here. |
| 04:15 - 04:17 | Don't you understand? |
| 04:17 - 04:19 | I need to become a black belt. |
| 04:19 - 04:22 | I must market this TPS house, |
| 04:22 - 04:24 | and you will provide a way. |
| 04:25 - 04:27 | You're going to help me or |
| 04:27 - 04:30 | you're going bankrupt. |
