Blasts From The Past, Aug 20-26 -- Three years ago this week - It Ain't the Tools...
Everything is important to some local part of the organization, but as a result, nothing is recognized as important to the organization as a whole. But we can't say that my silo is important and yours isn't -- it's just not polite -- so I scratch your back by not questioning the value of your desires and you scratch mine. A clear strategy will go a long way to getting leadership on the same page, and understand why it is best to delay "my" local interests in order to use scarce resources for "yours."
