It is a well known fact that the time used for a particular decision is inversely proportional to the actual importance of this decision to the company. The question as to whether the consumption of photocopying paper can be reduced by 10% involves several people over a long period of time, and is discussed passionately until a new recording system is designed; an exercise that frustrates more employees and costs more time than the photocopying paper altogether.
You need to put a stop to this nonsense. Assess the working hours of your employees whereby you multiply the gross salaries (as an allowance of the working environment costs) by three and divide it by the average working
hours. You will be amazed to learn how quickly the costs can soar when several managers attend the same meeting. As a general rule of thumb you
could standardize the decision-making process so that it may definitely not
cost more than can be realistically expected of the results.
