Massive cultural difference between US and the UK. Those guys love meetings. They're meeting mad. The extra hours they work are to make up for the meeting suck & at the end of them no-one has taken any actions, so when they meet up again no-one has done anything.
So far I've built out a detailed project plan / tasks, with over 200 individual actions & I'm only half way through my notes.
I need a smarter way to work on this one though.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
