  • Improve Your Accounts Payable Process: Moonwalking with Einstein

    Once I realized that the techniques used for training for the World Memory Championships could also help improve your business processes, I knew I had to share them with our community. I’ve got 5 process improvement tips from a place you probably never thought to look – Moonwalking with Einstein, a fascinating book, by Josh Foer. As I read it, almost immediately it struck me that I might be able to use some of the techniques discussed to become a better bridge player as well. Make sure you stick around until the end when I share how these mental athletes (yes, that’s what the competitors are called) get off what they call the OK plateau, a place most of us have been. If you’ve ever thought that everyone’s abilities plateau at some level, this information will change that perception.
