' ... Neville isn't one for allowing comfort to anybody, so you know, if they come back with their timescales. Say, for instance they're going to come with various enhancements they want to do, they'll say we'll have one release end of March, one end of June. Neville said, no ... if you'd said to me it will be 23rd March, 26th May that's fair enough but you're just going to cut to quarter months ??? got to speed your act up. There will actually be Jane and her team will be down here, we'll have four of them down here which I think is long overdue. Much easier, because one of things we've noticed is a lack of urgency, I'd call it the New Hall Place syndrome. I have to say I do wonder ... I just think sometimes there's too much of the X-Group philosophy already in and it just takes, maybe it needs somebody completely new who's already got PowerBuilder experience and can work from there as opposed to having to learn the software as well. ... she's a qualified project manager for Touche Ross. We've got her for a year I think it could be longer. She's very expensive but we've got a lot of time for her. I think she was necessary. In the same way as I think I've said before it needs a fulltime business manager with heavy boots on in there so the fact that Neville is in charge is a good thing. He doesn't take prisoners.'X072 page 001.02 (tape 02.2.08) Jenny Notes/Tape 20/01/95
