SEI over the years, 1 percent to 3 percent of your organization.
If you are in a large organization, that may be too big. If you are in a small organization,
that may be too small. We find that between five to ten motivated people
usually works well. However, they have to be prepared to write procedures and do
work??”not just review and comment on the work other people have produced.

easier in the workplace. If forced to choose, choose quality over quantity, and talent
over politics. Remember, you will never get total, 100 percent buy-in.

This section holds true for both the PATs and the EPG. Hold meetings at least
weekly, require attendance, and require timeliness.
