7. WHAT IS HACKING?
Hacking Your Factory
Beyond negative connotations of “hacking”—how is it defined in
the context of an organization?

8. “an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and
iteration. Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that
nothing is ever complete. They just have to go fix it—often in the face of
people who say it’s impossible or are content with the status quo…
Hackers believe that the best idea and implementation should always win
—not the person who is best at lobbying for an idea or the person who
manages the most people.”
