The customer always wants the highest quality product. And I also think that teamwork should be a core value. We do not want, for example, a them versus us mentality between, say, accounting and manufacturing. ” Steering Team Offsite Meeting • 35 “But why would the customer care, or even know, that we work in teams? I don’t get how teams would be a core value driven by the customer,” said Nancy. “Let me give an example,” I replied. “Try to think of a time when you purchased some product from a large department store or discount house.

We need to listen to our customers, and we need to listen to all of you. Then, too, we will change how the business is structured.
