Search and destroy?

Off to the mid west. Should be interesting. Trying to persuade three fiercely independent and capable groups that together is better and that the notion of the common good actually exists. The good news is that all the parties are decent. This is unusual in itself. The bad news is that I cannot PROVE that I am right and desperately need them to believe that I am. Too often people try and find structural solutions to behavioral problems but on this occasion I really do think that the answer lies in the organization this time.

Even if this goes well there is a mountain to climb with other folks in the value chain but I think it's probbaly worth it.
