Economy of scale - It's a myth!

John Seddon introduces private sector clients Laurence Barrett and Rob Brown, who explain why they first tried and then rejected front office/back office shared services.

They explain that the thinking and assumptions, based upon economies of scale, are flawed, and a better set of assumptions are economies of flow.

This is important evidence that will save public sector organisations millions of pounds, and huge volumes of time and effort.
