SG1J
A large white structure seems of importance to the site.
The idea of organization or institution is associated with this
structure.
A sense of fragmented bureaucracy is present, with
numbers of small groups of men and women going about their
specialized duties in support of the specialized interests
assigned to them.
The normal concern with "empire building" and
protection of area of personal responsibility is obvious.
Each
serves with the best interest of the organization primarily in
mind, with their own self-aggrandizement relegated to second
place, but because of parochial view and perspective, each thinks
the interests of their own narrow sphere are paramount to the
well-being of the organization at large.
These people serve one
specific person or organizational entity which has preeminence
and overall authority.
Their loyalty to this entity is
ungestioned, but their shorter perspectives sometimes cause them
to serve in their functions against the most efficient or best
interests of he/she/they whom they serve.
There is presently
some crisis confronting the overall organization, and steps are
being taken to address the crisis.
Both subtlety and outright
confrontation must be exercised in varying degrees and at various
points in the strategic formulations employed.
There is some
disagreement behind the scenes as to what strategy exactly to
follow, but this is superficially disguised to present a unified
front. However, the outcomes and results of the strategies when
implemented often inadvertently reveal the subsurface
dissonances, since not everyone is "reading off the same sheet of
music" when things hit the fan. The situation remains in a state
of flux at present, but will probably deteriorate considerably
before it gets better.
