Fair point. That's exactly what I did. Implemented a few high impact POC's ( my own initiative). But to my surprise, they were not interested at all. (Not only my manager. But a few other senior guys). That's when I realized its not worth it.
- casion 6y agoDid you consider that if they weren't interested, that your evaluation of "high impact POC's" is likely incorrect?
- ktrulr 6y agoFair point. You could argue that. But the place is full of mediocre people. And almost everyone is in comfort zone. ( I am not saying, I am a genius though)
- prepend 6y agoI think what’s hard is that you need to keep doing that over and over, don’t stop. Sometimes I think something is really good, but it doesn’t stick for one reason or another. What I try to do is timebox to a few weeks or months and then try something new. It’s hard to understand all the factors that affect interests, so if my stakeholders aren’t interested I try to work on something new. I also try to share the metrics for why I think something is valuable. Specifically calling out the quantitative and narrative value to try to have the value be understood.
