When you hear “Process innovation” you may immediately think of a business process that needs re-designing in order to boost efficiency. But process innovation can be found in unexpected realms. In this post, we will have a look at process innovation in an unusual environment: the Olympic Games.^^
In the last Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the usual suspects made it to the men’s 4x100m relay final. As you might remember, Jamaica, led by Usain Bolt, won the gold medal, admittedly not a big surprise. A tough question, however, is who won the silver medal. If you are not much into athletics, your educated guess might be either US or Canada, indeed former winners, but actually the second place was to… Japan!
But… who are these guys? (Picture: The Japan Times)
