When the horse is dead, dismount

Ancient wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.

In organizations, however, we often try many other strategies, including the following:

1. Changing riders

2. Buying a stronger whip

3. Falling back on. “This is the way we’ve always ridden.”

4. Appointing a committee to study the horse

5. Arranging a visit to other sites to see how they ride dead horses

6. Increasing the standards for riding dead horses

7. Appointing a committee to revive the dead horse

8. Creating a training session to improve riding skills

9. Comparing the state of dead horses in today’s environment

10. Changing the requirements so that the horse no longer meets the standard of death

11. Hiring an external consultant to show how a dead horse can be ridden

12. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed

13. Increasing funding to improve the horse’s performance

14. Declaring that no horse is too dead to ride

15. Doing a study to determine if outsourcing will reduce the cost of riding a dead horse

16. Buying a computer program to enhance dead horse performance

17. Declaring a dead horse less costly to maintain than a live one

18. Forming a work group to find uses for dead horses

19. Changing performance requirements for dead horses
