Was there ever a dumber idea than doing more with less? Perhaps “best practice” qualifies. Both ideas should be relegated to the ash heap of history even faster than they will get there, which they inevitably will. As long as they are around they do enormous damage. This essay explains why these ideas are pernicious, yet have broad appeal. Public sector IT managers are not alone in receiving such suggestions. However, they deal with “systematic” issues and should be in the vanguard of public managers who respond to these well-intentioned but ultimately ridiculous suggestions.
