28 January 2023 - centralize, decentralize

According to the ancient formula, to fix a floundering organization you centralize what is distributed (eliminating overlap and gaining economies of scale) and distribute what is centralized (allowing different branches to act on their different needs). For the next cycle of reform, do the same. How does it work in both directions? When managers settle down, over time they manage for their own comfort. It works by breaking that.
