If any of you are rugby fans you will know that Wales picked up their first wooden spoon in over 20 years. What will follow will be the usual knee-jerk reaction, invest more at the base of the pyramid -grassroots or spend more to inspire more at the elite level – people like success. And yet, as Boeing airplanes have recently found out, it’s not as simple as pointing the figure at what appears to be the problem.
The problem with the problem is that it’s rarely the problem, it’s just the thing you can see and point at and say – there’s the problem. That works when you have a stone in your shoe, but for most other things, it’s not that simple. Rarely is there any point looking for the solution in the same place you found the problem.
