Ishikawa Maru
a term derived from “ishikawa diagram” & “kobayashi maru” …. defined as a term used by “engineers” as well as other “technical professionals” to describe something that looked really good on paper but flopped badly in implementation &/or practice. also a saying to describe a leadership or professional decision that crashed & burned.
senior manager #1- “how did the new hire do on his first day at work? he looked great in his interview!”
senior manager #2- “ishikawa maru! …. a real fubar!!!”
one could also say that the “stand your ground” law (as written) is yet another fine example of a “ishikawa maru”, in that it’s aloud several know drug dealers as well as other well-known florida state criminals to commit murder, yet walk away from prosecution or even arrest by simply claiming “self-defense”.
