Short Issues To Ground

If you sense that your organization is spending more time on the bureaucracy of solving a problem than on the actual solution, you need to simplify the problem-solving process.

"Shorting issues to ground" means finding the quickest path - from problem to solution - avoiding the non-value-adds procedures and delays.

Captain Lambert,

I do not know where you came up with this little schematic but the words “shorting issues to ground”does nothing but blow the fuze, was that meant to happen?

Very Respectfully,

I think 'blowing the fuse', in this case, is equally appropriate to the situation.
