Hindsight is beneficial when it leads to change.
For many years, drought has plagued Maui, and as a result, hundreds of acres of land have presented the very real danger of massive, fast-moving fires.
Whether started by downed power lines, a lightning strike or a camper's fire, the cause is secondary to the effect, mass destruction and loss of life and livelihood.
No surprise. It happened.
Now, Maui's residents are visibly suffering the effects of poor planning, poor management and oversight, and the lack of proactive behavior and process, procedures and professionalism.
Can disaster strike again?
Has or will the processes change? More proactive instead of reactive and caught flat-footed?
Can management change to be having predetermined action plans? Is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic the solution?
Or is better preplanning with better preparation and professional direction a better start?
Hindsight is only effective when taken for what its results should be. Change.
And betterment.
