I've got good candidates for external links:
- History/Origin: MasterClass article on "Understanding Taylorism: The History of Scientific Management Theory"19. This is a good, readable source.
- Practical Applications: An article from the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) or SEC on "Operational Resilience for Financial Institutions"18. This is a government/regulatory body, highly trusted. Or the SEC's own Cybersecurity and Resiliency Observations17. I'll go with the SEC.gov one.
- Limitations/Criticisms: "Operational excellence challenges: 5 tips to overcome them" from PEX Network16 or "10 Reasons Operational Excellence Deployments Fail" from LeanScape15. These discuss common pitfalls, aligning with limitations. PEX Network seems more generally accessible. Or the BTOES Insights one14, which specifically mentions leadership buy-in as a critical challenge. I will use the BTOES Insights one for a more direct criticism/challenge.
- Another relevant external link: "Supply Chain Disruptions Have Eased, But Remain a Concern" from Liberty Street Economics (Federal Reserve Bank of New York)13. This discusses real-world operational issues like supply chain disruptions. This is a very strong, relevant source.
Let's refine the LINK_POOL now.
Internal Links:
- Supply chain management

External Links:
- MasterClass: Understanding Taylorism: The History of Scientific Management Theory12 (for History)
- SEC.gov: Cybersecurity and Resiliency Observations11 (for Practical Applications, specifically operational resilience in finance) - Checking if this PDF is gated or easily readable. It's a PDF, sometimes these are not preferred. Let me try for a direct web page if possible from SEC.
Re-checking SEC links:10 is a good article discussing proposed SEC rules on data security, cybersecurity, and IT resilience.9 is also good, mentioning SEC exam priorities.8 is a PDF. I will use7 as it's a web page, not a PDF, and discusses proposed rules, which is verifiable and relevant. - BTOES Insights: The Global State of Operational Excellence: Critical Challenges & Future Trends6 (for Limitations/Criticisms)
- Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Liberty Street Economics): Supply Chain Disruptions Have Eased, But Remain a Concern5 (for Practical Applications/General relevance to operations challenges)
Okay, I have my 4 verified external links from 3 different domains (masterclass.com, sec.gov, btoes.com, newyorkfed.org).
My internal links are 15 unique, relevant financial terms.
Now, proceed to writing the article following the structure.1234
