520 3 |a Four decades ago, the most progressive companies, particularly those in the manufacturing sector, embraced an aspirational notion stoically named Zero Defects. It was a broad corporate call to action in an era with no Internet, elongated supply chains, multicultural, multilingual, cross-generational work teams, or multiple time zones. It was to ensure that products would be better, work-related accidents down, and profits larger if people did not make mistakes.

There is now more than ever the urgency that how people connect to each other to move business forward must be foolproof.
