Why Is TBM So Magic?

TBM is not magic, but it simply enables to close the growing gap between ever more highly developed matter experts and the lack of basic and underlying methods and stuctural competences and skills. Closing this educational gap TBM leverages any kind of technical expertise and knowledge through the use of templates. TBM helps in a unique way to get the experts´ rubber on the road as it enables and forces matter experts to pre-structure and pre-define activities, processes as well as deliverables and milestones. TBM is no mystery but a simple and through this enormously powerful hands-on approach stringently and uncomprisingly overcoming structural and methodical shortcomings, as the lack of methodological knowledge leads to the destruction or ineffectiveness of all technical expertise. This means that TBM is a simple lever to fully take advantage of the organizational competences.
