Excellent but not enough

Edward de Bono has coined a new word, ebne, which stands for 'excellent but not enough'. This new word helps us to point out the need for improvements in systems which are otherwise considered highly successful.

Our education system is ebne.

Health science is ebne.

Your job is ebne.

Management Evolution

Procedures and functions of organizations get complicated with the passage of time. We need to make conscious effort to keep things simple.

In my last post, bosses hierarchy, I pointed out towards the unwanted layers of management which get build when an organization evolves. I just got a power point presentation from a friend of mine which describes the exactly same concept in an interesting way.

Do have a look at this presentation [the_ant.pps].
