What's All DIS About?

Some of you may have noticed, okay, few of you, that the MoD released a paper just before Christmas. Called the
Defence Industrial Strategy
, or DIS for short. And it's having quite an effect on the future of the business.

I've been partly involved in running some workshops on Primavera, the choice for the planning tool aspects, naturally ;-) But what's fascinated me is the attack of accronyms, and how much fun could be had ;-)

For example, we could engage the customer on our strategy for the future direction of the business (DIS-engagement), empower people at every level (DIS-empowerment), draft an agreement between all interested parties (DIS-agreement), integrate the business (DIS-integration), and making sure we appoint the right people (DIS-appointment). Oh, and we'll need a new organisation to manage all of this, now, won't we (DIS-organisation) ;-)

It's nearly as good as my suggestion of a Computerised Reporting Application for Projects ;-)
