We have no budget

Managers don’t support the project

It’s taking too long

It’s too complicated

I don’t have time time

We don’t have resources

Things are just fine the way they are

It’s on the “back burner”

Collaboration leaders and practitioners at companies all around the world have at some point thought these things.  But these things didn’t stop companies like TELUS, Unisys, Wells Fargo, Safeway, and the many other organizations around the world who have been successful with their initiatives.   So sure, you can stop, admit defeat, say you tried, and move onto the next thing.  But while you’re doing that, think of the companies that are working harder, are more determined, and are more committed.

Over the next few years what do you think will happen at your company and what do you think will happen at theirs?
