The other day we said capitalism was an authoritarian top-down system. Count on IBM to confirm this by launching a program that reduces employees to algorithms. Oh sure, you can't go by reps alone, sez the author of this book (!), but if people can be reduced to numbers why doesn't IBM go the whole hog and build automatons to replace people? It never stopped boasting about how its box beat out a chess player.
This sounds like another version of SIXSIGMA!!!!!, and most likely humans will learn how to screw up the works anyway.
