Told You So: musings and an abstract prediction
A brief companion piece to Three Ps.
When it comes to business, many people don’t like to spend a lot of money on an unknown venture, especially if they’re not sure that the direction they’ll be going in is the right one. Perhaps they don’t trust their instincts enough, or perhaps they don’t trust the people who are advising them.
But if such a timid approach leads to reduced productivity, mis-communication, loss of sales or of staff, or maybe something more calamitous, it becomes easier to step back and decide to throw lots of money at an alternative solution.
Translation: it’s easier to blame technology than Policies, Procedures or People.
