I think we can all agree that planning a wedding is notoriously difficult. You have at least 110 different variables. You have 10 months or even a couple of years to prepare and very often it still doesn’t go as planned.

Imagine your employees trying to do the job you are paying him/her to do, and they were planning a wedding on your time.

That is practically what you’re asking them to do when you ask them to help with telecom project management of a new location for your business.

What does ordering cable and services have to do with what you hired your people to do?

3. Which Vendor should we choose? It shouldn’t only be based on price. Remember, “If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.” But you don’t want to overpay either. So what’s your budget? How can you maximize it?
