Revision as of 13:53, 23 May 2018

Stop all the key performance indicators, cut off the skype
Prevent internal audit complaining with a load of old tripe,
Silence the subject matter experts and with animated deck
Bring out the target operating model, which stakeholders will wreck.

Let escalations circle, rise and then dip
Scribbling on the sky the message “Can you run it by Chip?”
Put service level agreements round the necks of the service line,
Let the chief operating officers wear black cotton flannelene

You are my steerco and opco, my verbiage, my pass,
My CBT, my CPD (at which I am best in the class)
My deep dive, disclaimer, my eye-ess-dee-aye;
I thought that conference call would last forever: I was wrong.
