Turning Plans into Policy
In the beginning was the plan, And then came the assumptions. And the plan was without substance. And darkness was upon the face of the workers. And they spoke among themselves, saying, "It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh." And the workers went unto the supervisors and said, "It is a pile of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof." And the supervisors went unto their managers, saying, "It is a container of excrement, and is very strong, such that none may abide by it." And the managers went unto their directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength." And the directors went unto the vice presidents, saying unto them, "It promotes growth and it is very powerful." And the vice presidents went unto the president, saying to him, "This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigour of the company, with powerful effects." And the president looked upon the plan, and saw it was good. And the plan became policy.
