Had a department meeting today and gave kudos for 2018 accomplishments, then jumped into an overview of plans for 2019.

Could not stop from opening my mouth and making suggestions when the VP of IT paused in this presentation.
The company is a hodgepodge of buildings, We are planning to build and move to a much larger facility by 2020.

VP was presenting future goals like the new building project was going to hamper things.
I said he needed to look at the building project like it was an opportunity instead of a hinderance.

He started looking directly at me as he continued. When he started talking about how it wasn't the IT staff, but people's reluctance to change production processes that was the problem...I spoke up again, said the move would be a great opportunity to push process changes past the old methods since everything would be new and diffeent..

After that if you read his powerpoint slides he changed the focus of his presentation from our department looking at the new building as a rough spot, to it being an advantage to tray better solutions and make the view of processes more flexible.

There were also goals he was presenting that I pointed out the company had moved away from after the founder had passed and gave some more historical background to match his scenarios makeing it sound like his ground breaking changes were not that ground breaking but instead something that worked and they company had moved away from. He liked that.

No-one else was making any comments, and until I started speaking up were falling asleep. Hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot!
