Which of your departments is strangling you?

Does this show a familiar situation? From Logic+Emotion: The Corporate Social Media Curve.

Every organization, commercial or nonprofit, has its idea-killers. They may or may not be the legal department. They are the fear-mongers who find reasons not to make progress. They have an audience because they promise to lower risk. What they never mention is the monster of risk they create: stagnation. These are hard times. It may be that some nonprofits are going to fold in the coming months or years. I don't know which ones those will be, but I can tell you which ones they won't be: It won't be the inventive, adventurous, full-speed-ahead organizations. Get rid of your fear-mongers and charge ahead.
