2-“We say “yes” to tight project deadlines knowing full well we can’t finish it given the timelines and resources provided”
3-“We delivered the result – but it wasn’t the quality and level of solution we were hoping for.”

If this describes your situation, chances are there are crucial conversations you are either not holding or holding well, that are keeping you from getting the results you really want. The real question is: What is the cost to your organization?
