It’s hard to tell if the book signing was a success. There were a lot of people at the book store… I hovered over the section where the books were displayed for sale and, as soon as someone touched an 8 Pitfalls book, I pounced! First there was shock when they looked on the back of the book and saw my picture… then they each asked the same question: “Why did you write it?”
I explained, I wrote the book to let people know that features are only part of the decision that goes into automation. The other parts are about process, change, and (especially) re-engineering an old process (that has years and years of paper dysfunction) to a modern process. The problem with creating a new modern process is the realm of possibilities is not understood. That is why I wrote the book – to change the understanding of possibilities within Accounts Payable.
(After the speech) They would buy… I couldn’t tell if it was because of the speech or because I was standing there… At any rate we sold a lot of books… YEA!
This week the party continues. I am on my way to LA to meet with a small group of people who want to know about the 8 Pitfalls.
