At risk of big-footing the conversation, I need to provide some pushback with a business-critical walk-on agenda item. A deep-dive after-action review of the conversation (an SOP for all synch-ups, mainly to promote information hygiene) makes it clear that this is really just a symptom of seagull management masking a misunderstanding of their value-add to our throughput as a society. If you were to dollarize the value chain, database the impact of going productional with a supersized vocabulary that productizes new language, you could quickly leverage the POV with maximal risk tolerance -- then just cartonize it, conduct the usual failure-modes effects analysis, create a new process map that eliminates non-projectized contributors and BANG -- American business shows a whole new value proposition!

Then again, it might be hard to get past the ha-ha test...
