Latest B.S. email re. EXACT
Barry, I notice one item missing from your list:
- If we find that EXACT simply can't perform as we expect, we will pull the plug on the program entirely.
All your points you included imply that the grand plan is to beat and bang on EXACT to try to force fit a square peg through a round hole, no matter the cost to anyone for doing so.
And if prior management initiatives are any suggestion, this is all that is going to happen. EXACT will be beaten on to try to form it into something, but if in the end the result is a total piece of garbage, it will still be made mandatory to use (example: SimSearch) because some manager has "deploy EXACT" in their PAP, without any language relating to "deploy a tool that is actually helpful, but do not deploy if it is not actually helpful".
Management initiatives at PTO always end up being "deployed at all cost", because management never holds themselves accountable for the quality of the tools they deploy from their initiatives.
