The EGS team understands that no two situations are the same, but often solutions developed elsewhere may be a valuable resource in addressing a problem.  We believe that it’s important to get the data first, to assure that “conventional wisdom” and the “solution of the day” don’t conspire to hobble an improvement process.  Leveraging the collective experience of the network is our superpower and has proven effective time and again in accelerating the pace of improvement for any company.
