The presentation two days ago went well.  The contractors seem excited, the line of business folks emailed me to say that they are keen to take this new approach, and on the whole, we took a big step forward.

That said, a few feathers got ruffled.  Figures in the project management office got wind of what’s happening, and seem very threatened by it.  According to previous experience, and that of all the great and good who write on the subject, this is a healthy sign, and would indicate that we’re right on track!

At some point, they’ll realize that we all want the same thing: to maximize value, minimize waste, and raise the company’s game.  What, you want our employer to do worse?
