If a company is doing the wrong things efficiently, it is still doing the wrong things. I spent 6 years in the U.S. Navy, and became expert on doing the wrong things efficiently! It took me a few years in the commercial world to learn to do things effectively. I think what John was saying re: efficiency is that it is far more important to be effective than efficient.

I actually really loved the book, and as a GTD fan, I also love David Allen. However, efficiency and effectiveness are not the same thing and I'm now more of a student of Tim Ferriss (4HWW). I agree that the book could be more prescriptive, but I found it gave me the motivation to try and make this change in my company. Hey Scott great post.
