I wrote a paragraph in the last post about all the staff names I was given who might be able to provide the information I was seeking at the Region.
Yesterday, I was able to speak to someone who answered my questions freely about progress of Machimo. Every person I spoke to was helpful and congenial. Information was provided without fear or favour.
It has always been that way at the Region.
Contrast that with Aurora; Councillors are instructed to address questions only to the Department Director in charge of the project. Lesser staff are not permitted to provide answers to Councillors.
Of course, like the Machimo software package, it doesn't work precisely if there' s not a firm "buy-in'" by employees.
"Machi(s)mo" - I Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou used to be able to wander into the Town Hall & be directed to whoever you needed to see. We referred to them by name, Sue for one matter, Lou for another. So trust was built up & Council was seldom bothered. This no-name stuff is dumb.
