Your plan is not working, they say.
Ah, but my plan is working, we respond.
(I just haven’t fully implemented it, yet … )
But look at the results you’re getting, they say.

The truth is, our plan is working. Mine is, yours is, theirs is.
Look at the results I’m getting? This is what you say to me?
My system is perfectly designed for the results I’m getting.

Need a new plan.

Change things one or more at a time.
Rip it all out and start over from scratch.
Pick any one.

The problem might be that it’s working only too well …
