Successful Teams
The same patterns have repeated and repeated. Every team had a significant user. Usually that person played an active role; sometimes that person delegated the tasks to a co-worker. Martin Hart, the president of NEC, personally participated during the first ten years. Martin is known as an energetic and extremely knowledgeable expert in the electronic component industry. His ideas made him a pioneer and successful. Later his VP, Mark Wright, became the sponsor. Likewise, most teams had the direct sponsorship of the VP of Finance. Other teams had tacit approval in that financial goals existed or statistics from the General Ledger were available.
