Preparing for the worst: Flexibility is the Key

Abstract

Whilst leaving work the other day I noticed the headlines on a piece of newspaper trampled into the wet concrete: ‘HOLIDAYS CRISIS’. During the next ten minutes several hundred people walked over the newspaper; everyone noticed it ‐ they could not fail because it rested on the threshold of the door. Not one was sufficiently interested to read the sub‐headings, or to pass a remark about it to a friend of colleague.
