I watched the NHK documentary "Error: The Law of Failure - Man-made Disaster Hurricane Katrina".

This is one example of how sectionalism in an organization can kill victims in the field.

What struck me while watching this program was a comment made by Muneharu Nakagai-san, the former mayor of Toyooka City.

'For what it's worth, the counterbalance to sectionalism is regular drinking party'

As you know, I am one of those who detest the "problem solving by drinking approach".

However, if I am said

"What is at stake is 'human life'"

I don't think this is the time to be so critical of the pros and cons of the approach.

Is there any killer approach other than the "problem-solving by drinking party approach?" I'm thinking.
