3. Make it visible

The BMW workshop teaches people to make VISIBLE the system that generates income for them.

If your value-creation (i.e. money-making) system is not visible, then you cannot improve it. Worse yet, you cannot repair it if/once it's broken.

A system is an invisible machine, and a machine is a visible system.

Once you make your career/business system visible, so many people can help you. But as long as that system is in your head, not many people can help you. You might not even be able to help yourself!

E.M. Forster put it this way: "How can I know what I think unless I see what I say?"
