The Twins were an advanced team, scouting and documenting well ahead of their peers. Point in time, just like the dinosaurs, they found their competitive advantage, capitalized on it, then were their own demise by failing to adapt to a different climate.
the key is “were”. Historic. Dinosaurs were apex until they weren’t. The Twins were on the brink of extinction and modernized, but are again on the brink of extinction and need to adapt again.
thus, the Lean ideology vs Six Sigma. Continuous improvement, incremental gains over time to adapt seemly vs the kaizen event.
