I started the week with the steering team meeting. At that meeting, one key issue was resolved - the most impacted group will run the vendor selection process. This is a good outcome, and one I orchestrated by getting all the right people to talk it through. The ST meeting went like butter, as a result.
Except one key decision was not made, and I'm having a hard time getting people to even pick a deadline for this decision. The key decisionmaker skipped the meeting, and as a result we didn't come to conclusion on this outstanding issue that has been bubbling around for about 4 months. C'mon, let's pull the trigger folks. I have laid out everything dependent on this decision, so I'm hoping this will get the ball rolling more quickly. Its interesting - the decision is being methodically considered, as if time were no object. Keep this in mind in the future. We'd rather take our time making a decision than to have to live with a bad one.
In the meantime, vendor selection marches forward.
