This is a question Oblique Strategies for Work

We want you to share solutions that solved work problems - but don't explain the problem it solved.

The idea is that someone else, when they have a problem can read this and see if your solution jolts them out of their problem.

(This is obviously a tribute to Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies cards which were filled with stuff like "add backing vocals")

Tiger Spray Strategy
Applying a solution to a problem that does not exist, and claiming 100% success.

e.g. Spraying Sydney airport with anti-feral tiger spray and reporting no feral tigers found for the next 12 months.

n.b. When applied well comes with pay rises and promotion. See HR and QA/ISO for more information.
