I’m so boring at this particular of time; which currently our special project team having a meeting with our VP. This meeting is to update our VP on our special big project. The outcome of this meeting will determine either it is GO or NO GO for this project execution date. This meeting mainly to gauge whether we are ready or not for the project. In the middle of the meeting I received a massage on incoming email. The topic attract my attention “ANYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG WILL GO WRONG” which reminds me on the ongoing meeting.
Our team leader were trying to cover as much as he can from the beginning of the meeting to impress our VP that he should nothing to worry, everything will be run smoothly. In reality it is opposite from picturesque display. In fact for your info, he called all team leaders for a meeting yesterday (Sunday). He was strategizing on the approach to be made during the meeting. All the info to show the opposite from what he expected will be nicely hidden.
This meeting was nearly ended, there are so many safety, reliability and integrity issue been brought up to surface via Q&A session. Our team leader face expression has changed!! His plan failed!! All the negative issues have been exposed and our VP started to ask one by one the team leaders on their level of confidence to execute the project. All the team leaders (including me) did not confidence on the execution part. We even ask for extension period. Surprisingly 1=0 said his unit is ready; which most of the team leaders disagree base on our observation and interviewed with his team members. I’m quite angry and disappointed with him, when he even tried to update our VP on my unit while he knows nothing about it.
Base on the meeting today, it seems the execution of the project will be deferred. I’m not sure for how long, but most of us hope and pray it will be extended for another 6 months. At one point, I do pity my team leader and 1=0 but as I mentioned earlier ANYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG WILL GO WRONG…
