Ah I had a really similar interaction with a vendor PM doing a rollout. It was just a bunch of open source kludge stitched together by a proprietary ERP, but there wasn't any kind of overarching . . design? Purpose? Resulted in a late closed door meeting with many payscales where I was told - confidentially, as if in an esoteric ritual - "You're going to need to evangelize System X to the Team" I still remember my actual words: "I'm a lousy preacher. I can't brag on something if I don't even know what we're doin'." Ah, that didn't go well. That vendor had juice all up in and over our org. Smothered and Covered. I thought to myself, I should have taken the collar. But other - more bright - friends of mine said nah - they were looking for scapegoats. So, maybe, maybe, pulling the yellow handle under the seat is the right move when someone forces evangelize into your job description. I waited too long myself, and that particular disaster farm is still a stain on my CV.
