Regular readers will recall the renovation of Cooke Towers has been a topic that has both occupied much of my attention of late and inspired a number of these blogs. It has taken a lot of time, energy and money to make it all this happen, and whether you are building a pyramid or refurbishing a kitchen, resources have to be organised, sequenced and accounted for. I have just been a little gob-smacked by how much time it has taken to get this to happen. I know this is no surprise to most of you, because you have been here before and no doubt think me a tad naïve to be surprised.

However, at the office we take on all sorts of projects that require a similar degree of organisation. They need time, money, space, bodies, energy, imagination, commitment and a whole lot more, but how many get this? How often do we either lob a ‘little’ project at someone without giving these things due consideration and then we are surprised when it never quite works out the way we hoped.

If you aren’t prepared to resource a Change, then you would be far wiser just keeping schtum and walking on by. If on the other hand it is important to you, commit to it.
