Notwithstanding the trials and tribulations of cutting our teeth on the first political election experience, as a participant. Maybe naively, I believe we did the best we could do with what we had. As a candidate, it became self-evident to me that there was a paucity of skills, resources, time, and access to information. Yes, all very understandable, as per UIM Party inauguration, and LGE 2021 timeline, per se. I do not know much about others campaigns, but ours was total chaos! Shoot from the hip! We were in Fire, Aim, Ready mode. Yet in truth the problem-solving, people-management, resource-juggling, and social-media wrangling, gave me the highest buzz I have had in a long-time. Even though it was so wrong! I loved it! Am I going to do it again in 2024? Yes, I am! But this time more professionally, and based on lessons learnt.
Thanks once again for everyone’s support, help, and advice, we have the beginnings of a great team.
Going forward we need to understand our wins and address our issues. So, I am seeking the resources to commission a full audit of our specific LGE 2021 experience, its processes, and performance analysis, to help meet that goal. Blind luck or guessing does not do it for me. I need to understand the detail, the performance, and its improvement, as to raise the quality of what has been done. So that’s the first step – then we will decide Go or No-Go based on all the available data. I will publish the results here.
