I am working on really good presentations, videos and other materials to explain what I do. It feels pointless because of the whole global thing of putting women back into domestic service. But many of our local leaders are women, so I have some hope.

And yeah I said fight. We cannot collaborate. This guy straight out asked me why we (women) do not just build structures that can compete with theirs (men.)

Of course that thing sits right at the centre of our town and our university and has already trained about a million civil servants. How exactly am I supposed fight that?

Which is lazy and also popular, because no boss needs to change anything about how their organisation is run.

Also I will try to suggest a mapping of all the various tools in use throughout the organisation. I cannot believe someone has not already done this, but in two years I have not found anything.

All this means I am much closer to actually doing something useful than I ever have been before.

That is ok though. The men (of course they are all men) in middle management are resisting me with all their might because they think I am like them and want to do a quick career. This will allow (force) me to talk to them some more. It still does not mean I will get bogged down with operations.

So on Friday, during the Sprint Review with the ultimate process owner, I mentioned that I was aware of various approaches to solve that problem and suggested to research them and put them on a wall to compare them. And of course the answer was, yes, good, do that. Lol.

Also, we are completely lacking in Storytelling tools. As in, this really innovative org of 10K+ people has not even tried to implement standardised collaboration tools and habits throughout the company. Shadow IT and walled gardens everywhere. Every team builds a knowledge database of everything.
