Busy Times & New Audiences
The month of February has come and gone, and we are into March already. The past month seems to have gone by so fast! Not only because it’s the shortest month of the year, but maybe more from it being a very busy one (along with all kinds of crazy weather here in the Niagara Falls region – we saw it all – sun, rain, freezing rain, snow, winds). For the most part we have had a very open winter this year with mainly mild temperatures above freezing; however, we have also seen brief periods of severe storms where we go from green grass to deep snow for a couple days, then back to grass.
It seems like everyone I speak to lately practising the Value Methodology (VM) is very busy. I am encouraged by this news as only a short time ago I had concerns for the future of our work. My last couple of workshops have been on strategic planning and using the VM to help prioritize larger resource use. While certainly not the sort of workshops I enjoy, I do enjoy that they often involve many who have never been exposed to the VM. A new audience always seems to open up new opportunities and that is a great way to start the year.
