Taking the Plan on the Road

If your imagination leads you to understand how quickly people grant your requests when those requests appeal to their self-interest, you can have practically anything you go after.
- Napoleon Hill

I begin my journey on Friday to visit with colleagues in Europe and cooperate on creating a single global technology infrastructure for the event team. We currently use more than 13 tools to manage our events across the globe (not to mention the thousands of Excel spreadsheets), and none of them communicate with any other system. So I've laid out a plan and will take it on the road to get input next week.

On a personal note, it will be the first time my husband will have to spend 6 days alone with our almost-9-month-old baby, so... we'll see how that goes! :-)
