DEAD HORSE STRATEGY

Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in the business world, we often see other strategies for this situation:

Whip harder.

Change riders.

Appoint a committee to study the dead horse.

Hire a contractor to ride the dead horse.

Arrange a visit to another site to see how they ride dead horses.

Create a training session to increase our riding ability.

Remind all concerned that "this is the way we have always ridden this horse".

Harness several dead horses together for increased speed.

Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.
