the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2018.09.03

Today I read an excellent post on getting things done, by a City of Toronto executive. Take this key quote:

Despite those who will tell you differently, there is no secret sauce to effecting change. You don’t need consultants, or outside funders, or Post Its and pipe cleaners. You need people who understand what they are trying to do, why they are trying to do it, and how to get it done.

The author's got plenty more to say, here.
