While millions of dollars are spent in every implementation due to project overruns, and most of the cost is incurred right at the requirements gathering phase and in the design phase when crucial irreversible decisions are made.

My recent trip to California has served both as a time to regroup and pick up some pieces, and as a life disrupter of sorts. The past couple of years have been personally and professionally challenging. Mostly due to a lack of clarity of who I am and where I am going. Don't get me wrong, on the pragmatic side, those questions are easily answered with a quick determination - look in the mirror
