I would like to take a rain check on that vision of yours, although I can hear where you’re coming from.
I think you have the suburbs of an idea there and you’re heading for the high street. I would like to kick it around, find a window to consider it and cascade the information to some functional unit main players at the next steering group brain-storm workshop.
I will then get back to you to arrange a salient convocation in an interface situation where we can touch base so that we are all singing out of the same hymn book & not act like a pork pie in a synagogue by throwing the baby out with the bath water & bring a successful scenario
With re: to your work station relocation, I interfaced with the man with his finger on the button, He said a monitoring committee would be formed, not to re-invent the wheel but to see if a roll forward situation could be established or in your case to get the bolder up the hill.
Its priority will be to revisit your problem & to bring you up to speed as a matter of course, but at the moment we are in a no win situation & finding workshop participants was like nailing jelly to the ceiling so until a window of opportunity opens your problems remain parked.
As you know at this moment in time you’re about as much use as a chocolate teapot, therefore until we can overturn this negative scenario by removing the rocks from the runway, your mission will be ongoing.
Let us not forget that in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king. In short you will have to watch my lips, first time, every time.
This will enable me to create a visibility project as an activity owner. I can then make a value added stats pack, flag it up, cascade it down and roll it out by the end of play today.
This should enable you to stop acting as a shadow by fast tracking a user friendly menu driven option downstream. When push comes to shove you can run me up to speed before we see the bow wave coming on.
As there is an enabling tool in train you must not try to eat the elephant in one go.
I will therefore take this one away and decide on a ball park figure in accordance with the benchmarks, targets and milestones you have been running past me. If you can pick it up and run with it I'll take that one away and hopefully avoid a drains up situation.
I want you to pick this up, take total ownership, lead your stakeholders to an overdelivered outcome and manage expectations so we don’t circle back to a languaging scenario.
When you are ready to move forward, please revert.
Wow. The @Telegraph recants:
"Predictions on economic consequences of #Brexit, dismissed as "Project Fear", have been on a long fuse but turned out to be overwhelmingly correct & if anything underestimated both the calamitous loss of international standing & scale of damage."
"Perhaps I exaggerate, but not since the humiliation of the International Monetary Fund bailout in 1976 have we seen an unravelling quite as spectacular. This too from a Tory Government with a substantial overall majority. It is scarcely believable."
"If it had been done differently it might have succeeded, but it was not. We'll be paying the consequences in reduced standing and prosperity for years, if not decades, to come."
"He is bereft of judgment, loyalty and discretion. Only in the star-crazed, frivolous Britain of the 21st century could such a man have risen so high, and he is utterly unfit to go higher still."
– Max Hastings, 2012 dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
"Values, decency and honesty play a diminished part in modern politics — but the British people may be grateful that it is still a sufficient one to have halted the march on Downing Street of this dangerous charlatan."
- Max Hastings, 2016 dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3…
The problem is not partisanship; the problem is the person. Personality matters and it matters even more than policy.
Leaders should set a standard of conduct and provide a role model to look up to.
Trump did neither of these things and no I don’t care if he had some good policies. I am delighted Trump has taken this double hit.
In these absurdly partisan times, I realise that polarisation comes from parties picking such polarising leaders from their ranks.
Before anyone accuses me (hyperpartisan-style) of being some kind of commie for cheering impeachment: there are plenty of a Republicans I’d be happy to see as President.
I have no time for tribe or party. I float. This makes politics harder for me as choosing needs effort.
Before the year 2010, people knew that without being told.
For those who believe “liberal” is synonymous with “leftist” - and that anyone who disagrees with alt-right populism is akin to Chairman Mao - here is my communism test result.
A #liberal believes in freedom, progress & human rights.
I’m delighted someone understands this.
Well worth an hour of your Sunday.
Explains very clearly
Liberal ≠ Socialist
Liberal ≠ Left
Before 2016, everyone knew this without being told.
