bottlenecks!

In a sequential processes if only one part of the chain has a defect, the whole process is delayed or screwed up. It happens that even in a 2.0 world people impose this for the sake of the old style of control, closing a parallel or "entropy like" work process with a bottle neck, loosing all the advantages of leveraging great minds working in parallels teams. Organizational (frustration above all) and business (stop to innovation, delays...) problems immediately arise.
This is particularly bad when it happens in a time where all organizations should work in parallel processes or in an entropy model, letting the great to come out with few ground rules set.
Old style managers must make any efforts it takes to change.
