I would expect that even in the most difficult implementations, there was success somewhere. I would also expect that analysing these positive deviants will lead to the same understanding of what works and what doesn't.<BR/><BR/>The difference is that we can ground changes in a solution that has already been shown to be successful. I'd suggest that it's less likely that approaching the situation from the other side will encourage blame.Jason Yiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08286768587936088382noreply@blogger.com
