It will be interesting to see what replaces the holy grail of downsizing. Our culture demands that one fad is swiftly replaced by another. Unfortunately, though, our culture also usually returns to the same gurus time after time - even after those gurus have destroyed an entire management movement.
Our concern is that rather than learning from experience, British business will adopt the next fad with equal gusto.
