Crap Circles
Clarke Ching's I Think Not, Baby Puppy highlights this good article from HBR on Crap Circles. What are crap circles? Even if you don't recognize the term, you probably have seen them somewhere along the way. Crap circles are usually found in fancy PowerPoint presentations where a process is depicted in one continuous circle. The problem with them is that in some cases, the continuous circle simply does not make sense. The HBR article by Gardner Morse provides some nice examples of these errors. Enjoy the reading. It is short and sweet. Then be prepared to challenge the next crap circle you see! |
