Can we schedule a 10:30 to hash this out? I don't have the bandwidth to tackle this one earlier.

Sure, just queue it up. I'll go nemawashi the flag pole to make sure we're in harmonic synergy with human capital.

Don't forget to yokoten the results of your jishuken while continuing to kaizen the countermeasures to last week's andon list!

You're assimilating nicely.

I'd love to yosodome the yamazumi board.

Okay, your takeaway is to circle up with the other project resources to provide an impact analysis and develop the business requirements around implementation of an optimized "touch base" phaseout that minimizes adverse downstream impacts to other processes and explores opportunities to leverage using existing infrastructure and improve associate engagement during the enterprise post-launch phase. I've entered your milestone deliverable as a fully sourced white paper with all stakeholder (or delegate) signoffs, please make sure you CC me on the distro so I can review it prior to you presenting it to the Steering Committee tomorrow morning.

dear god I understood exactly what you said.

I contest the deliverable and I'll get back to you in 6 months. The key stakeholders in the "touch base" group are very dug in and aren't on the same page. We've walked down this path before and need to engage other groups to present a more unified front. I'll work on the buy-in and champion the effort if you can get others in your group to get in line with our objectives.

One guy in particular has used it at least once in every conversation I've ever had with him. And I talk to him almost daily. This is no exaggeration. It's as if the guy is obsessed with "base touching."

Is "base touching" the new slang for something that I'm not aware of?

Sure, just queue it up. I'll go nemawashi the flag pole to make sure we're in harmonic synergy with human capital.

Don't forget to yokoten the results of your jishuken while continuing to kaizen the countermeasures to last week's andon list!

I really like the OP's value added, proactive rant. He revisits what it means to think out of the box. He didn't beat around the bush, he just hit the ground running. My plate is full right now, but I'm definitely going to keep this on the radar. His value-driven rant will provide some strategic ubiquity going forward. Because at the end of the day, the rant is really very client focused, with a leveraged mindset. Let's close the loop and then run the numbers to see how they work.

:laugh:

I`m just checking in so that we might touch base together!!

 

[JEDIYoda]

this is a baseless rant!!

 

[oznerol]

The response to this thread has exceeded all of my expectations. Many of you think outside the box, but I feel we need to continue to push the envelope. We need to optimize functionalities and generate dynamic synergies and revolutionize revolutionary niches and empower next-generation methodologies and...

Yea, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.

Side note - it's currently 10:06 AM - I have heard "touch base" twice.

Happy birthday to me.
