The Tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed down from generation to generation says;
When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to immediately dismount, and move on.
In our organisation, however, a whole range of far more advanced strategies are often employed, such as;
1. Change Riders.
2. Buy a stronger whip.
3. Do nothing: "This is the way we have always ridden dead horses".
4. Visit other countries to see how they ride dead horses.
5. Perform a productivity study to see if lighter riders improve the dead horse’s performance.
6. Hire a contractor to ride the dead horse.
7. Harness several dead horses together in an attempt to increase the speed.
8. Provide additional funding and/ or training to increase the dead horse’s performance.
9. Appoint a committee to study the horse and assess how dead it actually is.
10. Re-classify the dead horse as "living impaired".
11. Develop a Strategic Plan for the management of dead horses. Intensely workshop this plan.
12. Rewrite the expected performance requirements for all dead horses.
