| P_Stephens | Ignoring engineers’ warnings almost always turns out to be a bad idea. | It seems like every time a major technological problem or disaster occurs you find out that there were engineers warning earlier about a potential problem. With the iPhone 4, Steve Jobs was supposedly warned about the antenna vulnerability but disregarded the warning because he wanted the sleek design of the external metallic strip. With the BP oil disaster, engineers warned of troublesome pressures and urged caution and a more robust well construction. They were supposedly overridden by managers who wanted to minimize costs. There are countless more examples. |
