Each member of the class is assigned one of Hammer's Seven Principles according to the list below. Each person is asked to find a good example of a "situation" to which application of the principle would improve to a better "future state", or a situation in which the principle has been applied or used and has an improved process outcome than without it.

While each member of the team has to do the assigned principal it is not a group effort.  Each member does it and submits it individually.

Please provide a description of the example in a paragraph of several sentences (no more than a screen).  If you have any citations, URL's for further details, please provide such.  

Please use as a TITLE for your posting:  "Hammer Principle #n".

The first sentence should be a statement of the principle.

If someone else in the class has already posted an example that you planned to use, you must find a different one.
