  16. “Riding a Dead Horse” Ancient wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in organizations we often try many other strategies, including the following:

  17. “Riding a Dead Horse” • Changing riders • Obtaining or Buying a stronger whip

  18. “Riding a Dead Horse” • Believing the minority opinion - That the horse is still alive • Falling back on: “this is the way we’ve always ridden”

  19. “Riding a Dead Horse” • Appointing a committee to study the dead horse • Arranging a visit to other sites to see how they ride dead horses

  20. “Riding a Dead Horse” • Hiring an external consultant to show how a dead horse can be ridden • Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed

  21. “Riding a Dead Horse” • Creating a training session to improve riding skills • Changing the requirements so that the horse no longer meets the standard of death

  22. “Riding a Dead Horse” • Increasing funding to improve the horse’s performance • Declaring a dead horse less costly than a live one

  23. “Riding a Dead Horse” • Forming a committee to find uses for the dead horse

  24. “Riding a Dead Horse” • Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position
