I've just been sent to a 'lean manufacturing' meeting.
Everyone was very excited and enthusiastic.
They used words like, 'kaizen'.
They showed photographs of Japanese Managing Directors mopping floors with big cheesy smiles on their faces.
Then they played this weird film with a grinning American wanker in a lurid red shirt running through the concepts of Lean Manufacturing.
I noticed lots of bits of red in the film.
Then I noticed something else.
The film had a pulse.
It took a while to notice.
Everything sort of throbbed subtly but constantly.
When the screen was mostly white, a little black box in the corner kept the pace.
Guy in the red shirt talking, film starts to pulse again.
I timed the pulse.
about 85 beats a minute.
Was it designed to get us subliminally excited, just lifting the hear trate slightly?
It creeped me out.
