Abstract	As an information technology consultant, I've had many opportunities to help organizations and individuals improve their technologies, business processes, and skills. I've tried many new concepts and ideas over the years; some have worked, some haven't. I've also seen that the biggest improvements can come from looking at who we are and what we do, and improving on these before trying new, sometimes unproven ideas or technologies. In our rush to adopt state-of-the-art ideas, concepts, and technologies to improve ourselves or our corporations, we rarely imagine that getting rid of some things might make a greater difference. Aspects of our personal and business lives hinder our ability to function, develop relationships, interact with others, and become productive and effective individuals. One such roadblock we should think of eliminating is the blame game. Who we are and what we do as individuals and organizations is the foundation upon which we must build and improve. Building on a weak or crumbling foundation would be a mistake. Our individual and organizational propensity to blame, in my opinion, significantly weakens our foundations. We need to become aware of how we use blaming techniques (consciously or not), the harm they cause, how much we engage in them, and how we can change.
