In the article, we emphasize that while many organizations chase big, flashy transformations, it is often a series of minor, incremental adjustments that truly move the needle over the long run.
A key takeaway is that by focusing on one small area of improvement at a time—such as fine-tuning a customer insight process or adjusting team workflows—companies can gain significant benefits that accumulate and accelerate. The post draws parallels to the principle of marginal gains used in elite sports: tiny enhancements in diverse areas can lead to an outsized overall impact.
