"for every twenty books on the pursuit of success, we need a book on how things fly into tiny pieces despite enormous effort and the very highest of ideals." - James R. Chiles, author of Inviting Disaster
Planes fall out of the sky.
Products aren't what they say they are.
Hard drives crash.
These are examples of what Org Design nerds [like myself] call "system fractures," which is basically another way of saying shit happens and there's nothing we can do about it but adapt to changing circumstances.
Ah, change.
