Reflections

• Thrown lots of techniques at it• Pretty much everything chucked at it to see what

worked• “As a human being, one has been endowed with

just enough intelligence to be able to see clearly how utterly inadequate that intelligence is when confronted with what exists.” (A Einstein)

• Success was dependent on individuals not organisational priority

“Statistics are like a lamp post to a drunk man, more for support than

illumination”

David Brent
