2 months in... and?

I'm at my new job 2 months. Establishing a foundation of Data Governance with MDM solutions with a technical team. Lots of politics and probably egos prevent progress and problems that need to surface.

I'm anxious to get started - to bring impact - to engage with the business to look inside their issues and establish a "framework" (I count 5 business buzz terms I've used here - does this make sense?). I know I'm not alone - this lesson in patience is tough but essential.

So - I'm learning all I can about the politics, the egos, the solutions and the history while I wait. I'm hoping this will make me more valuable when we're ready to move.

Its easy to complain but not always easy to know when to jump in and help with the solution.

2 friends got jobs after lengthy work outage - I'm so happy for them. Go people!
