ABSTRACT

The guys and the ladies have been doing good work on the analysis in all four divisions; they’ve been at it for two weeks now, and I’ve talked with them every day either by conference call or during personal visits. I’m generally happy with what I see, and they are generally as nervous as kittens! The combination of good work so far and the team’s nervousness has got me thinking that we need to get together again as an entire team to review progress to date, and so we meet at head office in the boardroom. It’s a full house—all sixteen of the analysis team plus James, John, Bill, and Smithy…and me, of course. The head office team is brilliant; they show and express total commitment for what the team is doing. We have a full and busy day ahead of us, and James kicks it off.
