There are many ways bureaucratic organizations refuse to believe that the horse is dead and would try different approaches to prove to themselves that it's not so. 1. Appoint a committee to study the horse. 2. Create a training session to improve riding skills. 3. Increase funding to improve the horse's performance. 4. Visit other site to see how they ride dead horses. 5. Declare that no horse is too dead to ride. 6. Buy a stronger whip. 7. Increase the standards for riding dead horses. 8. Hire an external consultant to show a dead horse can be ridden. 9. Form a workgroup to find uses for a dead horse, if all else fails. 10. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position or vice president. Stop beating the dead horse in your organization. This could be a rehashed idea, practice, or custom that are no longer relevant, valuable, and appropriate to the times. The costs of reviving the old to account for the new versus creating new out of new experiences, discoveries, and insights are far greater. Consider investing in the right tools and mechanisms to get to 'new ideas' and become better at attracting the right champions to it.
