<<< There was a time when I thought that centralized control was the most efficient approach, minimizing waste and abuse. It seemed so logical. ....Well, I lived and learned. Big systems are usually out of date by the time they're installed. The loudest lobby doesn't produce the best ideas. No one can think of everything. Bureaucratic overhead will sap any system. And big systems are almost impossible to turn around. Nothing efficient about that.>>>> One other possiblity is that we have not lived long enough and have a lot more to learn. I do agree, that right now, big systems hardly ever seem to work. Our primitive human nature seem to get in the way and spill into our everyday lives and also into the systems that we are trying implement. But, this is funny, that I should be preaching to a Management professional. You are old enough to see some of early information systems that were put into place and you no doubt have seen more recent systems in place. This has all taken place within the last 30 years. This is only the beginning. Civilization is only several thousand years, we are still in our infancy. I am betting on the possibilities, even though most of them will not likely occur in my life time.
