Homework

I loved an observation made by a senior manager who attended one of my training courses in London last week:
“Too many proposal efforts feel like doing your homework on the bus to school.”
Stressful. Rushed. Just good enough not to get into trouble – or get too bad a mark. Yep, I can see the parallels oh so clearly!

When I was in high school, I pulled an all-nighter to complete a five page paper. The teacher commented that the final pages of the paper did not include sufficient substantiation.

Without going into any detail, let me just say that proposal all-nighters can have similar issues.
