THE CREATION OF CORPORATE POLICY
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
In the beginning, there was the plan. And then came the
|
|
assumptions. And the assumptions were without form and
|
|
the plan was completely without substance. The darkness
|
|
was upon the faces of the workers, and they spoke unto
|
|
the Supervisors:
|
|
|
|
"It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh"
|
|
|
|
And the Supervisors went unto the Co-ordinators, and
|
|
they sayeth:
|
|
|
|
"It is a pail of dung and none may abide the odour thereof"
|
|
|
|
And the Co-ordinators went unto the Managers, and they
|
|
sayeth:
|
|
|
|
"It is a container of excrement, and it's very strong, such
|
|
that none may abide by it"
|
|
|
|
And the Managers went unto their Controller, and sayeth to
|
|
onto him:
|
|
|
|
"It is a vessel of fertiliser, and none may abide it's
|
|
strength"
|
|
|
|
And the Controller went unto the Director, and sayeth onto
|
|
him:
|
|
|
|
"It contains that which aids plant growth, and it's very
|
|
strong"
|
|
|
|
And the Director went unto the Managing Director, and
|
|
sayeth:
|
|
|
|
"It promoteth growth, and it's very powerfull"
|
|
|
|
And the Managing Director went unto the Chairman of the
|
|
Board and he sayeth:
|
|
|
|
"This powerful new plan will actively promote the growth
|
|
and efficiency of the organisation and engineering in
|
|
particular"
|
|
|
|
And the Chairman looked upon the plan, and saw that it was
|
|
good.
|
|
|
|
It became Company Policy.
