Committees

"If computers get too powerful, we can organize them into a committee -- that will do them in. "
Bradley's Bromide

Another intense day and the challenges ahead are becoming clearer. There is much potential here. One key may be to successfully navigate past the inertia and bureaucracy of committees. Anyone who has dealings with committees may have an idea of what we're talking about. But I think the quotes say it best, if a little exaggeratedly!

"A committee can make a decision that is dumber than any of its members. "
David Coblitz

"Committee--a group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done. "
Fred Allen
US radio comedian (1894 - 1956)

"To get something done, a committee should consist of no more than three men, two of whom are absent. "
Robert Copeland

"A committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled. "
Sir Barnett Cocks
(1907 - 1989)
