What is Lurking?

 


An odd but important question for any organization is "What are we failing to address right now which, down the road, may strike us as a major oversight?"

A few items I've seen were:

  • The primary assumption regarding the desirability of a program turned out to be false.
  • The time estimates for a key stage were grossly inaccurate.
  • An organizational ally was a vigorous adversary.
  • The sales team was understaffed.
  • The sales pitch was directed at the wrong organizational level.
