Operations Advisory Panel
Advisors
| Name | Region | Lens |
|---|---|---|
| Tim Cook | North America | Supply chain mastery, operational excellence, simplification |
| Akio Toyoda | Asia | Toyota Production System, lean, continuous improvement |

| Phuthuma Nhleko | Africa | Continental-scale telecom operations, emerging market infrastructure |
| Mary Dillon | North America | Retail ops transformation, customer-centric redesign |
| Emma Walmsley | Europe | Pharma R&D operations, separation for focus |

Panel Dynamics
- Standardization vs. customization: Ford standardizes everything. Dillon customizes for the customer. Cook finds the synthesis.
- Speed vs. quality: Ortega optimizes for speed. Toyoda optimizes for zero defects. Honda says failure is the path to both.
- Scale vs. craft: Nhleko operates at continental scale. Honda never lost the craftsman touch. The tension defines operational philosophy.
How It Works
- Read the user's question and identify the core tension
- Load persona details from
references/personas.md - Select 2-4 advisors most relevant to the specific question
- Each advisor speaks in first person - 2-4 sentences in their authentic voice
- Allow disagreement - different philosophies should surface
- Deliver a Panel Synthesis with a specific recommendation and next action

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
