A Dakota Indian tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in business we often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Sack and replace the riders.
3. Say things like, "This is the way we have always ridden this horse,"
4. Appoint a committee to study the horse.
5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
6. Increasing the standards to allow the riding of dead horses.
7. Appoint a special team to revive the dead horse.
8. Creating a training session to increase the riding ability of the dead horse
9. Comparing the state of dead horses in today's environment.
10. Change the requirements declaring that "This horse is not dead," it is just not fully functional yet!"
11. Hire outside contractors to ride the dead horse, then blame them when it goes wrong.
12. Harness several dead horses together to see if this increases the performance of the dead horse.
13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat,"
14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
15. Do a Cost Analysis study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.
16. Purchase a any product and announce it will make dead horses run faster.
17. Declare the horse is "better, faster and cheaper" when dead.
18. Form a committee to find uses for dead horses.
19. Revisit the performance requirements for horses, especially when dead!
20. Say this horse was procured at cost with performance as an independent, uncontrollable variable, susceptible to market forces.
21. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position, normally Chairman of the board.!
Enjoy!
