Easter Egg

February 20, 2020 • by Tom Geraghty

Well done! You found the first clue! Now solve the riddle below. Where do you think you should go next?

In the shadow of norms, where drifts are unseen,
A path diverges, subtle and keen.
Not in alignment, yet often embraced,
Where does one find such a commonplace space?
To uncover the truth, one must perceive
The term for the drift from what we believe.

(Still puzzling it out? There’s a hint if you scroll past the Easter image below)

Hint: we covered this in a newsletter article in late 2023, and was the term coined by Diane Vaughan to describe the underlying cultural dynamic that was in part responsible for the Challenger Disaster in 1987.
