Rosemarie Hammond commented on the post, Case Question: Volkswagen – Advice for Matulovic, on the site 9 years, 5 months ago
I would caution Matulovic against making any promises for special treatment. His response should be to explain to ELT members that their team members can vouch for the development of what becomes top priority because these representatives were present during the prioritizing, and they are aware of which project is given priority.
