' ... What was good about them [the workshops] was that the fact that they were completely open floor, say what you like, say exactly what you felt, how you wanted things to be run. What was bad about them, as I said, maybe there wasn't enough continuity from one meeting to the next in terms of the people involved. Maybe they didn't..they kept widening the goal posts I think, they should have maybe tackled things in smaller stages rather than trying to deal with the whole lot at once. ... in the end stages went towards designing things which we still haven't implemented, and which probably won't be implemented until quite a long way down the line. I think City just wanted everything to be operational immediately and weren't fully aware just how much work from a technical point of view actually getting the system set up.X040 page 005.02 (tape 03.1.02) Lucy Notes/Tape 09/06/94... But certainly at the end the goal posts did keep moving. We kept revisiting areas which we thought were closed, ... too many cooks really were involved. I can understand the need to have an input from many people, interest was definitely lacking to start with and by the time everyone started to get interested it was a bit late, going over old ground. Incredibly frustrating a lot of them, spend an hour or so with two people arguing on a tiny, tiny point and completely losing track of the issue.'
