Portuguese term or phrase: A empresa evita o fenômeno 'dente de serra', melhorando e piorando.
O desafio mais difícil, tanto em termos empresariais como pessoais é “catracar” as melhorias, evitando o fenômeno “dente de serra”, melhorando e piorando, melhorando e piorando.

Para fugir desta armadilha precisamos conhecer e adotar as posturas gerenciais adequadas, padronizando processos, educando e treinando as pessoas. Admitir os erros e assim aprender com eles é uma importante fonte de melhoria e progresso quem se considera incapaz de falhar já não progride, não sente motivação para o esforço.

neutral  Evans (X): I'm not sure your references are relevant to a business context. I've not heard the use of sawtooth as a metaphor in English for this business phenomenon.

agree  Evans (X): yes, I think this is a much more familiar turn of phrase. We also use seesawing and roller coasters as metaphors in business cycles.
