Toxic Fungus

Unless due diligence is performed on the part of an org’s leadership junta/cabal/politburo, fragmentation of responsibility and unessential specialization can easily creep into “the system” – triggering a bloat in costs and increased operational rigidity. Like a toxic fungus, not only is it tough to prevent, it’s tough to eradicate. D’oh! I hate when that happens.

    huh?

    methinks your graph is upside down.

      Nope, it’s just a “non-standard” way of graphing variables. Note that “0” is at the top and “>> 0” (greater than 0) is at the bottom of the Y scale. As time tics by, when fragmentation increases, flexibility goes down and operating costs go up. That is the Gospel according to pope BD00

        all hail the grand most high \! so busy trying to understand the values, neglected to examine the scale.
