If Aliens came down from outer space and studied your organization, would they find a system that was running in a clear cut and coherent fashion, or would they find something more closely resembling chaos?  Would they quickly be able to appreciate the rationality that was being the core element of each and every decision?  Would they see an efficient flow of critical information between all parts of the organization?  Would the logic of the strategy be immediately apparent?

 

Looked at objectively, organizations are pretty messy, stupid, chaotic, and a whole bunch of other terms that implies inefficiency.  I guess that is why business and risk management is so much fun.
