Crisis Prevention by Introspection

Some not-so-obvious questions to avoid disaster:

1. Which of our assumptions are likely to do the most serious harm if they prove to be false?


2. Are all of the key responsibilities clearly delineated and assigned?


3. What can be jettisoned and what must remain?


4. Do we all have the same goal?


5. How much of our time is devoted to work that will produce little over the short term and is of even questionable long-term value?
