Focus on Thinking Processes Before Tools

Despite being a tools provider myself,

I often lead with the following disclaimer:

“The mistake other people make is that they simply copy our tools and process and expect similar results.”

– Jeffrey Liker, The Toyota Way

Simply using Tiger Wood’s golf clubs will not make you a better golf player.

Nor will buying a $3,000 DSLR make you a professional photographer.

You have to internalize the thinking processes first.

A tool is just an implementation of the thinking processes.

Without the first, the second doesn’t matter.
