In about six weeks the Information Futures Commission will pack its bags, fold its tents and slink quietly into the night.
In our diamond-shaped process diagram, we are accelerating towards the pointy bit.
Next time I use this shape to represent a project process, I try to show that the rate of activity increases as you move into the final third of the process.
Actually, it’s not the volume of work or activity that’s increasing. It’s the team’s perception that has changed: as final deadlines loom, we become more conscious that there is limited time to achieve all of our goals.
From the outset we knew those deadlines existed; we even knew the dates on which they will fall. Knowing is different from feeling.
