Some thoughts:<br /><br />1) There's a thin line between being perceived as passionate about your work and being arrogant. Jims advice on going over your bosses head to communicate an idea, is in my opinion, not a good idea. It creates resentment, and potentially can limit your career progression. <br /><br />2) To sell an idea to an organization, its much easier to get it accepted if you can outline the benefits of executing that idea up front. So for example consider the lumberjack case in the original post. Instead of saying "Hey, if we dont sharpen our blades, we'll miss our quota", consider "Hey, if we sharpen our blades, we'll not only meet our quota, but exceed it by x percent!". Management types love to hear solutions, not problems.<br /><br />3) Finally, if you want to sell an idea to management, not only has it got to be spun in such a way that it will benefit the business, but you have to outline up front what metrics you're going to gather from making that change. Consider the situation where a team of developers want faster machines, because its taking too long to compile their code. Just saying "We need faster machines, its taking too long!" wont work. You have to sell it like this: (lets assume for example that the team is practicing scrum).<br /><br />"If we get faster machines, the time taken to compile and test our code will go down. We reckon that it could go down by x%. The time we save can be spent on more revenue generating work for the business. Therefore we should see an increase in our velocity in successive sprints, and this is what we'll set out to measure"Mark Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439329592535316811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33777038.post-27767996293714062822009-07-22T18:49:21.824+01:002009-07-22T18:49:21.824+01:00The much larger problem, IMO, is companies that do...The much larger problem, IMO, is companies that don't take a deliberate look in the rearview at projects (at all).<br /><br />... and tell that lumberjack's boss not to worry about the cost-benefit analysis of blade sharpening.

What's worse is when they listen, agree, decide to do what you say, then change their minds after the fact, leaving you wondering what the hell just happened.Eric McWhorterhttp://www.samharris.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33777038.post-55458709462826451792009-07-21T11:24:05.508+01:002009-07-21T11:24:05.508+01:00I think there's only one possibility of convin...I think there's only one possibility of convincing the organization. You've got to be so passionate about it that you're willing to walk into a manager's office and describe the situation and the proposed solution. And if that manager doesn't hear you, then you've got to walk into his boss's office and describe the situation and the proposed solution, and so on, as far up the chain as you can. If no one listens then change won't ever happen.<br /><br />If you look at figures throughout history that have created change and you see that they lay it all out on the line. They're so passionate about it, that most people think they're crazy, but they don't care. They know they're right, and they're willing to bet the farm on it.<br /><br />If you're in an organization like this, then your only shot is to be open, be vocal about it (professionally, as I'm sure you will be), and be repetitive about it.<br /><br />If it's not received, then leave. You're a incredibly talented software craftsman. There's scores of companies out there that are headed in a much better direction who would die to have a talented developer like you.<br /><br />No sense going down with a sinking ship.Jim Fioratohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111942317657114808noreply@blogger.com
