Mike - good post and good link. Something was going on this AM with SWJ - I did not see your post till just now.

I wanted to highlight this part of your post:

" DoD is probably the largest example of a Machine Bureaucracy. This type of organization works well in a stable environment, but it has trouble adjusting in a complex, dynamic, and hostile environment (i.e. war)."

I need to think about that one for awhile, but I my feeling is its important.
