Synopsis: Examines moves to ‘flatten’ management hierarchies in the Systems Environment Department of Lloyds Bank.

Dressed as knights and peasants, the staff undertook quests intended to show the flaws of hierarch and the merits of the matrix. But management finds that empowerment must be based on trust.
