bingo. it's about finding the right people and building them solutions.

my boss used to fly into different offices early to make time to see different people and just ask them pain points. buy coffee and donuts for the different team and pick their brains for things that needed solutions. a couple times he had them just show him and walk through stuff.

many of our deliverables and projects came out of that, and we became dedicated git-r-done staff.
