Background

An organisation is in disarray. Their teams are a mess. They have no idea what the most valuable thing to work on is.

You have been engaged as a consultant to improve how the organisation works. But where do you start?

Do you focus on getting the org to 'do the right things in the wrong way'; identifying the most valuable thing teams can work on, but in a completely dysfunctional way?

Or do you focus on getting the org to 'do the wrong things in the right way'; coaching teams from dysfunctional to functional, but leaving them with no idea what the most valuable thing is to work on?

It's not a binary decision. You have $17 to vote on what is the most valuable thing for this org.

A $10 bill. A $5 bill. A $2 coin.

The right things in the wrong way
OR
The wrong things in the right way


Bonus point if you tell me the movie reference hidden in the final question. Enjoy.
