The Dakota-Indians have a saying “If you notice that you’re riding a dead
horse, get off.”

We, however, have other strategies - true to the motto “Don’t ever give
up” …

- we buy a stronger whip
- we exchange the rider
- we say: but we’ve always ridden the horse like this
- we institute a research group to analyse the horse
- we visit other cities to see how dead horses are
ridden there
- we increase quality standards for the riding of dead
horses
- we form a task force to reanimate the dead horse
- we squeeze in a training unit to improve our riding skills
- we engage in comparisons between different dead
horses
- we change the criteria that signify that a horse is dead
- we buy people claiming they can ride dead horses
- we harness several dead horses in order to be faster
- we state: no horse can be so dead that it cannot still
be ridden
- we make a survey to see if there are better and
cheaper dead horses
- we state that our horse is better, faster and cheaper
when dead than others
- we set up a quality loop to find a use for dead horses
- we form an independent cost centre for dead horses
- we widen the horse’s field of responsibility
- we develop a motivational program for dead horses
- we establish a special department that deals solely
with the needs of dead horses
- we restructure so that another cost centre gets the
dead horse.
