Small is beautiful

I used to work for an organisation that got things done by co-opting people it thought would help resolve things in a practical down to earth way - onsite. It was the best .
 Many managers have the good sense to know the idea but are stymied because of the heirachy of organisation they work in .

• The bigger they are the worse they often are .
• The bigger the problems the organisation tries to work on the higher the risk of failure - the big problems are only human and the real problems ( human) only grow with more human elements esp fixed and title ones.
• Wannbes are always creating new organisations mega departments - worst idea ever 

I could do my job because the organisation I worked for was small . "You work for SCA - well what would you know ".
That little organisation modeled environmental planning in Victoria like none since . If you are tempted to start a mega department or committee you would do well to study its modus operandi.
