But you can polish a Turd!

A old friend of mine frequently uses the phrase "You can't polish a turd". Until this week I believed this to be true until today.

We're four years and $140m into a BPR project that has a major SAP implementation at its heart. The intesting thing is that ten days after Phase 1 go live, and 1,500 related service desk calls later, the message I'm getting in the crucial run up to the end of financial year is that large parts of Finance simply can no longer do their day to day jobs.

Funny that because the SAP Implementation Program Manager's status email today doesn't really correlate with what I'm hearing on the ground.

Oh well. I suppose someone's just found that special way of polishing.
