Is it possible to be efficient in a large company?

Or is the amount of red tape justified for the 'results' that it provides?

I'm beginning to wonder.

My project team needs to make a decision on something. I was told it was my recommendation. I made one. Now I find out that there's actually two other 'governing bodies' who will provide a recommendation.

As well, there are two other individuals who will provide input into those governing bodies.

Here's the best part. We all have different criteria.

I only care about the project because no one can tell what the future vision of this decision is. The others are supposed to care about the Enterprise and will tailor their decision based on what they think the future direction is.

Finally, one of the other people doing the recommendation is also putting in a bid for the decision.

Gee, I wonder which one he'll pick. I've been told that this is more effective. Have the Liberals infected the large companies too or has it always been like this and I've just noticed?

nothing to do with liberalism. In fact, liberal people are probably more open to change and doing things differently. Large companies become enamored with their success and won't budge on how they operate despite changing times..........ie. conservatism. But you can run large companies successfully as well as conservatively here in the U.S because if you spend enough money in washington you can control your competition. That's the dirty little secret here in the U.S........it's not so free market afterall.

Thanks, I thought I'd get another chirp chirp thread because I have no boobie pics. The liberals that I speak of is the Canadian Liberal Party (ie raise taxes up the wazoo) party.
