'{So do you think it might have been different if one or two more underwriters had been invoved in the prototyping sessions earlier on} I think probably but then you get into the situation that if you have too many people there and it can get too wide and it's not too long since people were underwriting anyway. ... They're not the users ... We had a typical thing the other day in a management meeting where Percy said I want to get this and this information out and I said well excuse me a minute ... you have to put it in to get it out. So you need to go away and think about how often you really want this because it's going to cost effort, you know, it may not be underwriters putting it in, it may be services but then that gives Carol the services manger a headache because if we suddenly need an extra half a man-year just because of something Percy wants is the cost-benefit there? ... I have to wear two hats, I have to wear my business hat and my IT hat and sometimes Neville has to say to me just take your IT hat off for a minute and look at it from the other side and then fair enough put it into context with the IT but you do have to balance it and you gradually get better at that, you get used to it.
