Given the time pressure involved (Ludwig REALLY wanted to start setting up the projects some weeks ago) the Board felt it was in the projects best interest to continue in the same vein, rather than paralyse Ludwig and our Release Team by encouraging a debate which we weren't able to reach consensus over last time.
An announcement together with a poll would have avoided most of the frustration over here in the factory list....
And that is, after all, one of the reasons why we have a Board, to make decisions the Project could otherwise have a very hard time making.
Putting my PRINCE2 hat on, the board should be called when a project is not able to make a decision. In this case, there was never a request for decision on the table. Or even the knowledge that some rebranding is going on. So the integral part of a discussion beforehand is missing
Generally speaking the Board will NEVER make a decision that everyone would like - because if the Board makes a universally liked decision then there was no reason to involve the Board in the first place.
Sure, not everyone will like the decision. But a board should never make decisions w/o involving the project beforehand. We call this democracy.....and I do not mean north-corean style.
