That's brilliant!
"grab random people in your hallway and see if they approve of the new developer you hired" - HR
"grab random people in your hallway and see if they approve of the fan choice for the new cafeteria's HVAC system " - Building Management
"grab random people in your hallway and see if they approve of the calculations in the spreadsheets that the company CFO produced". - Finance department.
Hey, I think you're on to something here. We could eliminate entire departments here ! :)
- jodrellblank 9y agoHmm, when you remove the expensive "we should hire a management consultant to tell us to ask employees about the new dev" it almost seems laughable, like people wouldn't trust or want a kind of 'democracy' and would prefer and respect 'dictates handed down from above'. Maybe it needs to cost $100k for someone in a suit to say "ask your employees, make use of their knowledge" before it sounds respectable?
