Increased QUALITY/PRODUCTIVITY is made up of 1000s of small improvements. Just like Gulliver who was held down by 1000s of threads. Each one doesn't seem to mean much, and in the case of a thread, can be easily broken. But 1000s of them can have a very strong effect.

Increased QUALITY/PRODUCTIVITY is made up of 1000s of small

Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of incremental improvements in achieving overall quality and productivity. It draws an analogy to Gulliver, who was held down by thousands of threads. Individually, each thread seems insignificant and easily breakable. However, when combined, these threads become a powerful force that restricts Gulliver's movement. Similarly, small improvements may appear inconsequential on their own, but when accumulated over time, they can greatly impact the overall quality and productivity of a system or process. The quote encourages embracing and valuing these small improvements as they contribute to significant and lasting positive change.
