The definition of insanity
Is doing the same thing again and again, and expecting something to change.
As Elmer said, this is exactly the same message that BT was pushing fifteen years ago, when they announced that they were shifting to a more "agile" way of working and started flogging off any building which wasn't (metaphorically) nailed to the ground, under some bizarre sell-and-rent-back scheme.
In fact, the quote on the BBC article (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44065422) looks like it was simply dug out of a cupboard and dusted off:
"It is critical that BT transforms its operating model to build a lean and agile organisation that delivers sustained improvement in customer experience and productivity"
Either way, I'm very much not regretting moving on from there!
