Motivation

I am working with a client on a pretty complex project that will run over the entire summer. To succeed we will have to draw on the skills and experience (ie 'the time') of a number of pretty senior players in his organisation.

Given that the project has a high priority within the company, he seems to blithely assume that we will automatically get what we need from who we need when we need it. As an external supplier I'm just trying to work out how to start the conversations that might get the same people approaching us with offers of help.

Mobilised volunteers or forced conscripts?

Nice thing about working in the theatre is that it teaches you that this isn't actually a choice.
