Sometimes I get the impression that some of the people in
management these days graduated from Pratchett's Guild of
Clowns. Thank you Dr. Whiteface. Thank you.

Nope, they all read the same Harvard Business Review papers. That used to
be pretty good, but lately seems to be dispensing more the "management
process paradigm de' jour". This results in an amazing amount of
uniformity among corporations (same Titanic, different deck chairs).
Whatever happened to innovation and processes and methods that
differentiated a company from its competition? Walmart didn't get to where
it is today by following the same processes that Sears and Penney's were
using. Now, it almost doesn't matter, scratch off the company logo and
it's all the same "green initiative", or "6s" or "7s" process whereever you
go.
