Executives ordering technical people to go on fact-finding missions is a
good idea... executives authorising their own beano, not so good.

So there's nothing to learn from others about how to manage the
project - not to mention managing the "technical people" when eg one lot
insist that only a gold plated thingummy will do while t'others that it

Sorry

If your (relevant) management skills are so lacking that you have to travel
half way around the world to learn this from someone else, you are in the
wrong job

That may be the most devoid-of-content reply I've seen in years. It
would work as a text comment, but as a usenet reply it just looks laughable.

It's best not to make jokes in uk.politics.misc and uk.transport.london

uk.politics.electoral ;-P
