John,
I made some comment in Week 1 regarding some of your posts. They tie to Core Values which helps in implementation of your plan. You may want to revisit what you said and the comments.
It may be easier for you to implement your Business Transformation Plan (BTP) since you are the recognized leader. Often new leaders try to implement major changes prior to establishing who is going to help the organization succeed. This is often met with resistance.
These BTPs are integral to successful operations although implementation with out acceptance results in further problems. You lay out a good plan to get the acceptance you need and to head in the direction you think is necessary. Nice job!
Jim
Thanks Jim and I have taking note of your suggestions. Thanks.
