We really need to push the envelope on this one...

I’ve just had a brainstorming session to touch base about the decentralization of knowledge acquisition that has got me thinking out of the box. We’re all on a three way street here and the question we should ask is what we can bring to the table?


I mean, our business is a finely balanced situation, weighted heavily toward the customer. But in order to grab the low hanging fruit, we need to make sure all our ducks are in a row.
So let’s take a blue sky approach to this. It’s obviously important that we are all on the same page and 360 degree feedback is vital. But let’s park that offline for a moment. Have we mapped the processes for this? We don’t need a seagull manager who drops the ball. We need someone who can step up to the plate and hit the ground running.


So I’ll just run this up the flagpole if I may. Let’s get ahead of the drag curve, stop all this prairie dogging and take a helicopter view. If we drill down, we can rightsize the road map and reduce the burn rate.


However at a guesstimate, I would say that I don’t have the bandwidth at the moment to third eye this by close of play. Perhaps we should just draw a line in the sand until we are all singing from the same hymn-sheet.


But I will keep you in the loop...
