The Arabian rowing team hired consultants to analyze why they lost the annual rowing race against Japan. The consultants found that the Arabian team had too many captains and not enough rowers. They recommended restructuring the team to have fewer captains and improve conditions for the rower. The next year, Japan still won but by a smaller margin. The Arabian team then fired the rower but gave bonuses to management for their efforts, while the consultants said the strategy was good but the tool (boat) needed improving, so a new boat is now being designed.
