Post-‐charre+e The hangover
Over-‐promising and under-‐delivering is a danger
It is important to manage expecta-ons
But it is important to harness the crea-ve energy and posi-vity
The greatest danger is not that we aim too high and miss,
but that we aim too low and reach it. Michelangelo
CharreFe as a step in a co-‐produc-on model
The Charade?
“It’s just theatre, played out by charlatans who roll out a pre-‐determined plan.”
Charre+es: You might not build a charreLe masterplan
Charre+es: You may not build a charreLe masterplan
You should build on it
