"When I talk to managers, I usually start with a quote from Einstein:

'Without changing our pattern of thought, we will not be able to solve the problems we created with our current patterns of thought'.

Managers always agree with this.

But when I ask, ‘'What is our current pattern of thought?’' they haven’t the foggiest idea.

Because of this they cannot understand their failures."

~ Russell L. Ackoff
