> I work with banks on, um issues, without disclosing too much. Occasionally we find issues with their software workflows, and this isn't related directly to monetary stuff. We're not allowed to have the end result change in any way most of the time. I think this is a good constraint in general for banks to have, and its definitely harder to change a workflow under these constraints. > Every single department is in deep blame avoidance mode. It's not "find and identify problems" mode, it's "It wasn't me" mode. This tends to happen in large organizations, and is incredibly toxic to productivity. The most extreme form is when you get fired (or otherwise censured) for fixing something because "You were in charge of the thing that was causing all this trouble?!"
