Meditation exercises remind us to observe things only, making note of tangible going-ons; we are instructed that if you catch yourself making a judgement to remind yourself not to and bring your attention back to observing. How often do I set out to do this and notice a little voice leaping to conclusions about these observations. The idea is that when you allow yourself to just observe things rather than make judgements you are more likely to see what is there rather than the conclusions we draw when using our own projections (past life experiences, our own brand of goggles) to make conclusive statements. Its easier to get along with others who do not share our specific brand of goggles, and if our projections lean towards pessimism, its also a happier way to live.

In summary, probably not. Control is something often given up when a product (or portion of a product) is outsourced. To re-institute controls "after the fact" is likely to squander the economies achieved in outsourcing in the first place. In order to be competitive, one has to assume good faith in partners and hope that a healthy, multi-vendor market weeds out bad actors.

The instructions were useful but to a point. Here are the lessons I learned.
