“
KISS!”
IIRC A Very popular phrase around the Lacey Green bazaars the 80s. From our low level in the engineering staff food chain it sounded good, and we tried very, very hard to comply.
However, our view was that putting people who actually knew their jobs and were dedicated to making them work, was the ‘simplest’ option. Sadly the hierarchy did not see it that way, as there appeared to be few opportunities for career enhancing cost cutting. In fact, by ‘lean managing’ the lower levels, everything became so complicated higher up that KISS went out the window. Obscuration seemed to become the name of the game.
Kiss? - I don’t think it was given a chance….Sad
The ‘Deliverables to be delivered’ yukspeak above is pretty typical bulls1t! Sir Humphrey would be proud.
Just my personal opinion, mind. 😉
