I have just arrived home from a long trip and dropped in the room of my son for a chat before he fell asleep. He told me stories about what happened with him in the school. He performed really well and I become curious about his method of learning. I knew that he does not spend much time with learning at home. He has so many other interesting things to do. He revealed that he prepares himself in the school right before the class then he listens carefully to the teacher. To the end of the lecture he is in the state that the lesson is memorized.

I immediately remembered the lengthy meetings when we spent a lot of time to recall the known facts which were communicated in advance. During my many years in the business I faced such situations when most of the participants did not prepare for the meeting. It is not only a disrespect to others but root cause of huge loss of time...

In fact while implementing the knowledge about business, processes shall be mapped, filed, overviewed and so on, many times. It seems that consulting helps to understand ourself and resign that it cost a fortune to finally arrive to a phase of deployment. For the time of taking the whole pack into use it becomes practically aged. It was not alway so, while oldschool companies were not changing that disruptive way, nor they neither the business world around. Nevertheless ERP controlling the core business took lots of energy to deploy and operate. Finally when the company surrendered was heading to multiple decades of a practically strictly fenced single vendor cooperation that was only good for the vendor and their delivery partners.
