No, I'm pretty sure the business owner can go away for a year on a French course and leave the implementor without guidance and everything will be just hunky dory.

Sounds about right.

I thought it was the Ford plant that was going to anchor the community for 50yrs?

In fairness to Ford Talbotville, they were there for almost 50 years.

100% - the Project Owner is the 'Champion', the person pushing both 'downwards' and 'upwards' to ensure that the project is successfully implemented. The Project Manager is the person on the hook to meet all deliverables as per the project timelines and to escalate when necessary up the Project Owner of any roadblocks that they themselves can't unblock.

The more invested the Project Owner is, the greater chance of success the project will have.

Ha Phoenix laughs in your face about accountability!

I love my Forester, but now I want a Forester Wilderness.

We've got the Touring version. Our Wilderness days are behind us.

That's because that's the way DND generally works. "We're all to busy with the present to concern ourselves about the future!"

My Crosstrek Outdoor was made in Japan, its a fantastic car. Certainly better than the American and Canadian made cars Ive had in the past haha.

Turning to 2% and the DND business model brings up the subject of Amazon's layoff of 14,000 folks. It appears its not AI related nor financially driven at all but a realignment of business lines that were no longer agile enough and needed to have layers removed

Amazon says it didn’t cut 14,000 people because of money. It cut them because of ‘culture’​

. . . Jassy explained that as Amazon added headcount, locations and lines of business in recent years, “you end up with a lot more people than what you had before, and you end up with a lot more layers … sometimes without realizing it, you can weaken the ownership of the people that you have who are doing the actual work.”

Amazon’s headcount peaked at more than 1.6 million in 2021; it ended last year with around 1.5 million employees, according to SEC filings.

“It can lead to slowing you down as a leadership team,” he said. “We are committed to operating like the world’s largest startup, and … that means removing layers.”
