The fact that we've made it to episode 10 is sort of miraculous. Like a stage diver, you don't have to want it, but it's happening. We're talking about contractor management—or, as Ron calls it, "cross-boundary joint activity." Ron talks about agents and stuff like that, not even in the context of Agent Orange, which is probably a better conversation. Ok, what we're really looking at is some of the mismatch between why we hire contractors to begin with. How do we reduce friction between clients and contractors? Is it about the alignment of goals? Dave says it's mostly the client's problem since there's a power dynamic, so maybe that's why inflatable rafts at concerts are important. Like a "glory hole" of sorts, there are perspectives from both sides of the boundary.
