Thank you.
Having just the other day endured a strategy meeting that started with: “I thought that seeing as we’ve all got together we wouldn’t bother with the agenda and just go straight to the last item,” and included the deathless line: “we don’t have any preferred outcomes for the library strategy; we don’t need any input from you, we’ve got it sorted,” I needed something to remind me that There Is Another Way.
Thank you.
