Why is that? I see it all the time, you have 3 or 4 good ideas/logos/business plans, no-one can decide which one out of those good ones to choose so they "compromise" and pick the worst example they can find. Then they spend the next few weeks/months rubbishing the idea/logo/plan that they had previously championed ensuring that the entire company has complete "buy in" on the bag of cr*p that was finally picked. "That [abc] doesn't completely reflect the values we want to instill into our business as set out in our mission statement" or "It just wasn't a good business fit" - What does that mean??? Even worse... "Our company is like a Lotus Elise, the [abc] is like a Trabant, if you see what I mean" - No, quite frankly.... I don't! And how about this.... "It's more cost effective to spend £10,000 on [abc] with [xyz] than it is to spend £7,500 on [abc] with [uvw]." - How? It's the same product with the same support and warranty! At some time or other over the past 10 years, I have heard all of these meaningless justifications and more so that a sales or middle management guy can defend what seems to be an indefensible position. Senior management go for it and then wonder why it all falls apart 6 months later... They were warned but they don't remember that and you end up having to go in and rescue the situation. Fun. Nothing is better than telling them it won't work, sitting back and watching it not work and then having to clean up because it didn't work and no one has a clue as to how to fix it....
