Saw Time: Explicit time given to an engineer that is dedicated to sharpening the professional “saw” during core business hours.

“The only sustainable competitive advantage is an organization’s ability to learn faster than the competition.”

– Peter M. Senge, Organization Development Guru and author of The Fifth Discipline
