Except in my experience, I came up with multiple solutions, many of which only required a single line....but when I told my smug corporate overlords I had additional solutions, the look of fear in their eyes was priceless. THERE SHALT BE ONLY ONE WAY TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.... The whole thing also prohibited any solutions to actual problems that were perfectly good, but perceived to be "inside the box,"#11: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Oct 15, 2020
"Brash, please refer to our formulated list of Approved Innovation Paths...our Committee for Inspired Thought worked for three years so we'd have developed, synergized standards for out-of-the-box processes...so we don't reinvent the wheel. Thank you!"
