Analysis Paralysis

Categories: Company Management

Too many metrics. Too many numbers. And no guts. Too much analysis such that non-visionary ex-management consultants see everything that's wrong with a given problem...and end up advising "do nothing". So nothing gets done. And the company dies.

Hello, newspaper industry. Hello, Toys R Us and Sears and retail industry in general. Hello, everyone-about-to-be-Amazon'd. Analyze this. Take that for data.
