Correcting the foundation

The analogy is very catchy. In order to build to last, one needs a perfect foundation. When the template of the foundation is a little bit out of line the entire structure to be built is not as per design.

This is my life :). Getting the foundation right. In order to do this, you will need to dig-up the roots and plant again. The structure or pattern of the columns of the factory is off. The positions causing the problem have been removed in order to first create a perfect foundation first.

Our neighbors think we are crazy by putting so much effort in a part of the property you will not see anyway. The foundation is underground….why bother. Well, we do bother a lot and get it rectified now, in order to build something that will last.

Many of the serious problems in this part of the world are under ground, or under the table. Not directly visible, but with serious consequences above the surface.

In the meantime we continue to have the structure re-erected by November 12th… Planning, discipline-ing, hoping, praying, and being incredibly picky on the work executed. We enforce change on the construction company which is not appreciated at all. But in order to change the way of work and achieving quality from India we have to push, dictate, and expect a level of work which is from a level higher than people deliver at present. Quite a challenge, with a lot of cross-cultural fun as well.
Down the line people start appreciatign quality, cleanliness, and structure over chaos, dis-order and lack of meeting expectations and dirt. It's a mission to make a business successful in India, that's for sure.
