Are you a Complexifier?

It may be a funny word when we first hear it. But when we let the impact sink in, it may be one of the most costly words on the planet.
The true cost may be well more than the extra time that a project takes to reach completion.
How many extra meetings were needed to finish the unnecessary inquiry? How many extra studies were ordered but were unnecessary? How many layers of bureaucracy were added with nothing to show for them? How many extra consultants have been engaged to chase potential fixes down rabbit trails? How many attorneys had to be hired to wind up or unwind the collateral damage?
