A lesson in aligning perspectives!

This week was a lesson that despite all the years in the trade, I keep making the mistake of assuming that people see and understand the problem spaces as I do. 

My mentality is … “Well, this is a huge problem that deserves a completely holistic approach and a very sophisticated set of artefacts to show I am truly on top of this!”

While the leadership’s is … “Let’s fix these most obvious flaws, NOW!”

Am I doing this for the fear of making it sound too simple that doesn’t require my “specialised competency”? 

Possibly, but it’s good to be reminded that starting simply with the most obvious might just unlock the most value at the time :)
