Scramble

My new client has pushed the start date of our project forward - to better accomodate a big meeting at the other end of the process. So today sees me scrambling to get everything in place in a way that's both timely and tidy. It's actually all rather exciting. We have the time, the money and the freedom to get this one stunningly right. It's a great process designed to free people up from the voices in their heads that constantly question each and every idea and to encourage them to charge in the direction of their whims and fancies and to see where it takes them.

We do this by offering the safety net of regular meetings where we sit down and judge all that we've done against some pretty stringent criteria. The idea is that knowing that there's a forum to raise eyebrows and objections will free people up from that everyday behavior of checking mentally whether what they're doing is sensible and prudent and all of those Gordon Brown words.

It's going to be great - I woke up excited but it's also going to be a scramble toward the first meeting. I'm out for three days, the guy running the thing is out for a week after that and we have out first big session in a little over two weeks.

I just went from excited to stomach churning. This is good.
