===On change management=== | |||
The very title “[[workstream lead]]” is self-directed puffery from the quill of a [[change manager]]. Of all the hornèd handmaidens of ''The Man'', pity most this fellow. | |||
No task is more Sisyphean, no cause more hopeless, no ambition more wretched, no sense of self-worth more forlorn than that of a [[consultant]] brought in to persuade old lags to embark upon a [[transformational journey]] none of them have the slightest interest in taking. | |||
After six months of workstreams, weekly [[Stakeholder|stakeholder check-ins]], [[All-hands conference call|all-hands conference calls]], [[key performance indicator]]s, state-of-the-art governance metrics, deliverables and business cases galore — all presented with the unremitting youthful expectation that one can really change in the world for the better, to have sit there empty-handed in front of the COO and be utterly unable to explain why you haven’t produced a single useful thing, when there is a perfect, clinching and water-tight explanation — that every one of these tasks was utterly, profoundly idiotic and had no chance of generating anything beyond resentment and confusion — must be the most soul-destroying experience. | |||
