  30. * Saying things like “This is the way we have always ridden this horse.”or from a Native American Tribal Saying:"If we don't turn around now, we just may get where we're going."

  31. * Appointing a committee to study the horse.* Harnessing several dead horses together for greater performance* Providing additional funding to increase the horse’s performance* Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses

  32. * Increasing the standards to ride dead horses* Creating a training session to increase our riding ability* Changing the requirements; declaring “this horse is not dead.”* Declaring the horse is “better, faster and cheaper” dead* Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position

  33. Finding a consultant knowledgeable about dead horses.
