“It took a whole multinational company one hundred days to come up with this?”

so true…
I think they must watch more Hannibal Lecter films and maybe.. just maybe… they’ll learn a whole lotta things.

Let me quote Mr. Lecter in the film Slence of the Lambs… “First Principle: What’s in its nature?” You do not need a hundred days to figure out something that can be tought of in one bull session.

It’s good that Yahoo is picking themselves up from where they fell down. But to finish the race, it’ll take more than determination.

Maybe it’s time for a little retrospect..
look into their organizational structure, processes, setting goals and perspectives. Are they setting the right goals? Are these goal achievable even if they already have existing limitations?

I’d love to see the drama of overcoming their limitations and finally crossing the finish line.
