What Can Go Wrong?

Abstract

Any organization needs to be reviewed periodically to see that it is still appropriate for current needs. This is true both of the organization as a whole and of its individual parts. When doing so it is useful to remember some of the common mistakes that can be made in setting up organizations or that can develop with time. This chapter is intended as a brief guide to these mistakes. The questions can be used as a check-list to help expose particular mistakes.
