Enthusiasm

Today’s focus was resource allocation, resource allocation, and resource allocation. We really went outside the box on how we could move things around, how we could reorganize efforts to accelerate things, how all these new initiatives gave us opportunities and challenges, and how (as Andrew put it) we needed to “Do the impossible”. Well I never thing anything is impossible, just highly improbable. We need to change the game being played to make the odds better suited to making the impossible the most likely outcome. We got the resource allocations written down, but unfortunately we still don’t have a full game plan yet.

When we were talking about the BIGGER picture of a unified architecture, I got REALLY pissy with Brian and went overboard on how I communicated TO him how things needed to happen. I’m just frustrated with his point of view that we need a WHOLE new team to re-write everything from the ground up. It’s not reality. It’s not going to happen. I need to figure out a constructive and non-abrasive approach to communicating a different vision of how we get from 3 separate products onto one single consolidated platform. Ironically, the vision isn’t even my vision. It’s someone else’s vision and I am just acting like the champion of the vision, tyring to get people’s buy-in. I’ve communicated it before, but people don’t get it. How can I communicate this vision better? Meh, I’ll try not to think about it over the weekend. Maybe I’ll have an epiphany on Monday.
