“One thing I think is dangerous with the "best practices" mentality is when some practice becomes the unchangeable status quo. The day comes when that best practice is no longer the best, but in some organizations there is no way to change the practice once its institutionalized. You have the inefficient formal process, and back channels where the work actually gets done. The more dissonance there, the more companies lose their competitive edge, bright employees leave for greener pastures, disruptive technologies sweep out the old bowling pins and new ones are dropped into place.” -- Eric Jarvi
In my last blog post I'm basically saying the same thing with respect to keeping an open mind. :-)
