/2 To get more things done, more quickly, in Cdn cities, our problem isn't that we need to be more unique, more adaptive, more special, more innovative. It's actually the opposite. We need to steal other cities' basic lessons more often, more readily, and more ruthlessly.

Google discovered that giving every employee a credit card and trusting them to follow policy on expenses, even with some bad actors, was cheaper than the enforcement and structures most companies use.

How much do you waste due to low trust? Can you do the math for your company?
