One region's customers are demanding X capability, so that region takes advantage of decentralized decision-making and immediately decides to develop X capability.<br /><br />Meanwhile, unknown to them, another region's customers are also demanding X, and that region is busy developing it too. In fact, it turns out that all the regions are independently developing very similar capabilities.<br /><br />The regions could talk to each other, of course, but how do they find the right people to talk to? Do they really want to make nine phone calls before making a decision? What if they describe the capability in one way and another region describes it in slightly different way and doesn't realise they're talking about the same thing? What if several regions want to be the one to drive the development? Who decides which one actually does?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12948038.post-14119371430150109952010-01-06T09:52:36.723+00:002010-01-06T09:52:36.723+00:00Sorry Anonymous, I don't follow your logic.Sorry Anonymous, I don't follow your logic.allan kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262139490250478379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12948038.post-1388547891768504422010-01-05T21:57:53.670+00:002010-01-05T21:57:53.670+00:00Doesn't it depend on what you're deciding?...Doesn't it depend on what you're deciding?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
