Daily Inspiration: "Dare I suggest that if you are thinking about a bit of downsizing, you consider getting rid of your Department of Procrastination and Delay?" - #Futurist Jim Carroll

Downsizing seems to be all the rage these days, particularly at tech companies. As someone who has studied innovation for thirty years, I've learned that often, those doing the downsizing are targeting the wrong people. 

With that in mind, let me offer up my expertise on what groups should be on the chopping block. In fact, there are a number of departments that I suggest you might consider axing:

- The Creativity and Innovation Prevention Department

- The Office Of Small Thinking and Marginal Ideas

- The Department of Lost Initiative

- The Excuses and Justification Bureau

- The Committee To Create Committees

- The Aggressive Indecision Department

- The Division of Obsolete Technologies

- The Department of Reinventing the Wheel

- The Office of Doing What's Always Been Done

- The Department of Repetitive But Useless Actions

- The Department that Always Does it This Way

- The Office of the Leadership Sycophants (That one is for Twitter)

... and a few others that are in the post!
