A way to describe an organisation is through the use of a metaphor
(a comparison of the organisation to something else). For instance,
an organisation could be described as being ‘like a machine – because
it emphasises predictability and uniformity and treats people in
an unfeeling way…like cogs in a wheel’. What metaphor
would you use to describe your organisation and why? [Please use
