This unconsciously engineered sleeping partner within our business system, lying dormant for many years, has been awakened by the recent turmoil in our markets causing internal stresses that management have not been able to deal with.

There is one functional area in Beer’s VSM, transduction, which is not fully explored in his work. Essentially, this is the change in the nature of goods/services and information when they cross a boundary.
