Kill It with Fire

I tell my engineers that the biggest problems we have to solve are not technical problems, but people problems. Modernization projects take months, if not years of work. Keeping a team of engineers focused, inspired, and motivated from beginning to end is difficult. Keeping their senior leadership prepared to invest over and over on what is, in effect, something they already have is a huge challenge. Creating momentum and sustaining it are where most modernization projects fail.
