[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]was there no back up plan?[/quote]

A back up plan predicated on the chance Suzie in sales got blackout drunk and no showed????

Who the eff do you all work for?[/quote]

Back up plan in case suzie was sick, suzie's kid is in the emergency room, suzie was in a car accident, suzzie got stuck in traffic from a fatal accident, suzzie take Metro and the metro broke down, suzies parent died and she had to travel last night.....

We have people flying in and have staff has been working on something for 6 months, my staff better have back up plans for everything. [/quote]

The backup plan is that the person with the next most involvement gives it on the fly. In NO major company I’ve ever worked for is there an equally prepared backup person in case someone gets killed an hour before the presentation. The understanding is that in such a serious emergency, things will be rearranged. But nobody is planning around someone dropping dead or no showing. [/quote]

The next most qualified going through the presentation with the orignal presenter a few times before the day of is the plan here. For regular meeting I agree with you. When you have a 6 month team investment and people flying in, you should not be relying on the next person does it "on the fly." [/quote]
