Print Buying #UKvUSA episode 27: Choose One – Efficiency Or Creativity
In this episode of Print Buying UKvUSA, Matthew Parker asked Deborah Corn about which was more important for a printing company: efficiency or creativity?
The discussion was based on this quote by Reed Hastings, founder and CEO of Netflix, on the difference between creativity and efficiency:
“A way to think about it is, innovation requires variation. And in manufacturing—six sigma, all that stuff—you’re trying to reduce variation.
The fundamental manufacturing paradigm is to reduce variation, and the fundamental creative, innovation paradigm is to increase it.”
