Thank you for the well-researched and considered article.

This being the first article I've read since finishing "Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men", I noticed where gender data gaps may be at play here.

All of the 'favourite' writers you mentioned are male. Please can you point towards some women whose ideas you drew upon for this article? If you are unable to, please can you consider that for a future article?

Taylor discusses that the processes can be applied to 'productivity in the home, on the farms, management of the business of tradesmen'. Women are often the main (unpaid) workers in the home, contribute to work on the farm, and participate in trades too. How does one observe a single task length when it is interrupted by a baby crying, by a call from school to collect your kid, that your elderly mother-in-law has fallen?

The point about shovelling techniques and the scientific method is especially pertinent here - when the shovel lengths and loads are only tested on male bodies, the tools created are only optimized for 50% of the population. How unproductive is that?!

Finally, "it requires team members and stake holders that think the same way" - hopefully that team and stakeholders is not all from one sector of society, or one gender.

I wonder what percentage of people signing up to your courses are women
