The sad part is nothing has changed, it has been always the same problems. Has nothing got better, sure there have been improvement but it is always in my mind a firefighting scenario, or a first aid bandage to the finger. So the moral of this mail is if haven't read the Phoenix Project yet please do read it and believe you in me it is a page turner, if read before go through your notes you have taken. I am sure we all be thinking a different approach next time around. Have a great weekend, Togan -- Life is endless possibilities, and there is choice!
