Stonewalling

Written By Helen Doherty
Neptune, the head of the IT dept says a new system needs clearance from IT security; a regular worker asks how hard it can be
IT Security, who is Medusa, says that over a million riddles need to be answered before clearance can be given; the regular worker questions the helpefulness of this approach
Medusa grows angry and threatens to revoke the regular worker's IT access; he advises that this is why she is unpopular among her coworkers

Projects depend on teamwork. Governance and security are important, of course, but make sure everyone in your business is focused on delivering successful projects, not indulging in petty politics.

Talk to Fettle IT for how to set up the project dream team to deliver your business objectives.
