		<description>The thing to understand about much offshoring is that it goes a long way beyond simple labour arbitrage. One of the major drivers is capacity, particularly for niche skills. If you're in a relatively small population - whether that's Melbourne or Glasgow - then you only have a limited pool of skilled people to draw on. If you can source from a much larger pool of talent, then it frees you from that constraint.

(OK, I realise that from a simple law of Supply/Demand perspective, this is another way of saying you're not paying enough in your location, but it depends on where you draw the baseline)</description>

		<description>You are absolutely correct in what you are saying about - especially - around the intuition expressed  in your diagram and in the quote -
 “The problem is not in your businesses. The problem is in your heads.”.

Now consider that the journey to B is exactly throughthe valley between X and Y and that indeed this is the natural order.</description>

		<description>Hey Richard, 

Happy New Year to you too. HK is good, unlike the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, we don't have snow or freezing temperatures currently. The coming next year or two look to be exciting ones, with the startup culture starting to get some traction here along with interest in investors. I'm doing what I can to promote Lean values within these new companies, so new material is always appreciated. 

If you ever need me to look over something, just send it my way, no worries.

		<description>Hey Richard, Happy Holidays and good article. Nice reference to have in one place. 

Not to nitpick, but I'd say that the majority of the manufacturing capability in Japan was wiped out with conventional bombing runs instead of the two nuclear ones. Look at the damage done to Tokyo. 

There are a couple of places where you quote something and then put a period after the quote in addition to the quoted period, this is redundant (ie. "The quoted stuff.". vs. "The quoted stuff."). 

I've posted it to the Startup Monday blog (http://startupshk.com/). I'm trying to spread the word here about getting Lean into startups here in HK.</description>

		<description>Is there a link/recording/MP3 of the presentation itself? This would make the pdf a bit more accessible.</description>
