This
website is based on a book that uses the movie, Monty Python and
the Holy Grail, as an analogy for the life in a modern corporation
- an illusive objective, bloated egos, a dysfunctional leadership
team, and idiocy all around.
The side bar doesn't give enough room for the full titles, so I've added this page that includes the full title and subtitle for each of the sections. Not every section is populated yet, but it soon will be. To navigate, use the hyperlinks on the right.
