To many people's surprise, the concept of "destroying work" can be a good one!
A common phrase used within the nuclear power industry, "destroying work" refers to the destruction (or elimination) of unnecessary or non-productive work - the waste. The word "destroy" connotes an elevated sense of urgency, and is perfectly aligned with Conway Management's The Right Way to Manage© practice of identifying and eliminating waste.
In fact, our approach frequently involves an "assault" on waste!
So, however you might like to phrase it, the act of continuously and aggressively studying work and work processes, identifying waste and eliminating waste is the foundation for continuous improvement and sustaining long-term gains.
