We have a new, inexperienced front office and the more complicated things get the more opportunity for something to screw up. Especially if they do not have strong relationships yet with other front offices.
I know it is never as simple as signing this guy and wrapping things up nice and easy. Although, each extra step increases complexity and opportunity for things to go off the rails. The more complex things get the easier it is to outmaneuvered by your competition as well.
Inexperienced or not, this front office will be judged squarely off results.
I like the quote, because if true, our new F.O. is working its tail off. What he's describing, if this is what they're doing, is the organized, thorough, scientific, systematic approach. Rather than relying on intuition and focusing a few scenarios in a disjointed way, they work up all possible scenarios, keep them ranked and work each one thoroughly.
This makes me think that the leadership talk regarding Nico is no joke. The task he describes is not one that he can do alone. He has to organize and oversee his staff and require output from them. Thiis feels like the oposite of the intuition based, disorganized, disjointed processes from the past that finally broke down in complete chaos.
